I think that's a pretty recent development. Doubt many people have tried them yet. I'm curious as to their lowering range.

I don't have an xi but being in Chicago you may want to look at the kw v1 for protection against rust.

im assuming youre talking about SonicTuning coilovers. There is a thread all about these right....here http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=958323

They seem like a solid product especially for the price compared to our other options. I was considering them but i wanted something to give it more of a drop.

There are ST Coilovers for BMW E90 / E92 Xi but I agree if you live in area that sees salt you should consider going with KW V1 for Xi.

I think that ST (idk what it stands for) who previously made exclusively RWD coils, just came out with xi coils. Not to be confused with Sonic Tuning.

ST coilovers are by KW.. main diff between the two ST are made of galvanized steel vs KW stainless steel. Like someone mentioned above, wouldnt be ideal to run in areas that see salt during winters. Other than that it should be a solid product

The KW Brand ST Coilovers is short for Suspension Techniques but hardly anyone uses the full name.
