Calling H&R Sport for xi owners

MassBimmer · 01-07-2010, 02:19 PM

For those of you that are running H&R Sport springs for your xi, did the springs reduce (or even eliminate) the front rake that our AWD cars have? From the pics I've seen, it looks like they do a decent job of this, just wanted to gather opinions..Thanks!

It did`nt with mine on 19 inch wheels. It was dumped in the back and in the front theres a tiny gap. I beleive the only way you can completly get rid of it is by getting coilovers.

That's what I figured, thanks!

Get some V1's... Here's my xi on V1's

Heard a lot of bad things about KW's

KW V3 killed the rake on my X Drive. If the KW's are installed to spec (as with any mod), there will be less issues.

+1 on this

i had my kw v1 installed incorrectly in the rear (ride height adjuster on the bottom) and my car maintained its rake.

i inverted the set up today, and my rear is jammed now. love it!

will have better pics tomorrow

So do the H&R sports drop the rear of the XI to the point where the tires are tucked?

philsteroni · 01-22-2010, 09:57 PM

The front will have about an inch to the wheel and the rear will be tucked.

Craig@SupremePower · 01-24-2010, 12:13 PM

nice comparison there...

Getagrip · 01-26-2010, 01:08 AM

Thanks. But I wish I had a better pic for the KWs.

Cajun kid · 01-26-2010, 09:14 AM

How much are the KW's?

Getagrip · 01-26-2010, 01:50 PM

I paid about $2100 shipped like 2 or 3 years ago.

forza1976 · 01-26-2010, 02:19 PM

1300 shipped for my V1's

MassBimmer · 01-26-2010, 02:33 PM

Cajun kid · 01-28-2010, 02:28 AM

I may buy the V1's. This is a crazy Idea but what if you bought two sets of springs? And put the lower springs up front and the taller ones in back.... Then it would be even.....
