Xi with i springs

Ive heard that with an xi, to get I springs to eliminate the rake that xi springs give, didn't matter if it was eibach or hnr. Anyone else heard of this? I thought I saw it on another thread.

Eibach and "i" sport springs will get rid of some of the rake but are only made for RWD cars - some people do run them on xi...H&R will not but I hardly even notice it to be honest
To get rid of rake, adjustable coilovers are really your only viable option

Try searching for this type of information, this has really been covered in great detail by many other threads

not completely true

You can use H&R Sorts and lose rake on an xi, you just have to leave the top plate off when you are re-installing everything, it will leave it about a 1/4" lower than if you were to install it.
I did this and my stance is perfect!

Really don't think that's a recommended option but to each his own...some people say it's ok, others say it shouldn't be removed...I tend to air on the side of caution
