At least from your pics, the front drop looks to be a lot more than the rear. Is that right?

yeah i noticed that as well... from my experience with coiloverers that are set up like this the rear settles a lot more then the front ill take pics in a week and see how it looks... and probably adjust them accordingly

drive is great... i dont have runflats.... its definitely a much sportier ride handles like it should have from the factory ... its a stiffer ride then before but it handles the bumps much better ... i highly recommend the v3's for all the xi guys


also if anyone is running springs on the xi and you want another set of shocks for when yours go in 10-15k im selling my stock set up

yeah handles sooooo much better... i have been really pushing it around the corners and its like a different car... it actually handles !!! what sucks is is that i only have about 3 inches of ground clearance and we are getting hit with a ton of snow right now ill try and take some nice snow pics tomorrow.


thanks for all the props
