Dropping my Xi

22witha335 · 02-25-2008, 11:57 AM

I have been looking around, and it seems that there just arent as many options for us AWDers to play with suspension.
I love the look of the KW V1's on the Coupe's but they arent available on the Xi's (as far as i can tell), and i dont want to drop that much money on the V3's!
Please post some pics of some dropped Xi's....thanks a lot!!!

You can get the H&R Coilovers if you want to spend the money but from what I've heard they aren't worth the money compared to the V3s. You could also do H&R Sport springs.

the hr sports drop shouldnt even be called a drop.. you could barely tell..

doesnt go nearly as low as the I's... we need h&r to make some race springs for the xi!

If you can, wait a bit, I suspect there will be more on the market by spring

Doc E · 03-03-2008, 11:24 AM

kv v3's by far for the best OEM like ride

Before and after. There is a noticable drop with these H&R sport springs, especially in the rear. I will be installing KWV3s this weekend.

Ron@Modbargains · 03-03-2008, 01:50 PM

In terms of coilover you can do the H&R xi coilver (not as much as the v3 xi model) - However the V3 xi - is really the best thing out there.

No shocks made yet for the xi (Koni I am sure has something coming out, I heard another sponsor is working with them on shocks) - right now springs are available.

One option are the H&R Sport springs if you are not interested in a full coilover setup. These are now available from H&R through Jlevi SW:
