What suspension are you on?

With the very little options we XI owner have, please indicate what set up you are on and if you track out not.


side note: I want to lower my car and upgrade to 19's. i'm looking for a drop that won't hinder the AWD and drivability we have. this is my DD and i am not using it for track. i also haven't really justified to the price of coils either. any suggestions.

Curious to know yuggy how you like the H&R coilovers??

Can anyone comment on how they compare to KW's?? How adjustable are the H&R's??

Thanks very much.

KW V3s can adjust the ride height and dampening. H&R I believe is just ride height. This topic has been debated quite a bit, and almost everyone chooses the KWs over H&R, myself included.

Yup that's right...i chose H&R because I just wanted to adjust the height only. I didn't care about the dampening.

I'm happy with the H&R's so far!

H&R coilovers soon to be here (installing the 27th) I can't justify the price of the KW's when all I care about is looks.
