Xdrive on ST Coilovers?

Anybody using ST Coilovers on their xdrives and have pictures? I’m about to buy a set, but worried that the rear won’t be high enough for my liking, even at max height. I live in a place that gets very little snow and we don’t salt, so I’m not worried about them rusting

Sure thing! I’m told they’re built to order and 4-6 weeks out.

I inquired about xdrive coils from them about 2 months ago and they said they didn't have any. Went with KW V1s instead for xdrive and have been happy with them. Though I think I would have preferred a stiffer front spring rate but it'll do for now.

Any pictures of your setup?

Sometimes I really wish I got an f31, that looks good. How much room did you have to go up on yours?

I'm maxed out on the rears as far as how high they'll go. I need to order a spacer that KW makes to give me some adjustments in the rears. Fronts still have a good amount of thread left to go up more if I want. I like my ride height right now so I'm debating putting more work into them.

perfect, I was thinking I needed to install the spacer as well. 1.2" in the rear is a little lower than Id like to go I think. Thank you for the info!

yeah I saw that, although the ST coilovers can be had for $890 right now which is a V1 without stainless parts which I don't need here. I wish they had a rebate on the street comforts because those are what I really want. Just a little pricey.

Yeah keep in mind I also have a wagon so my car is a bit heavier. I use the same kit of the f36. I think that xdrive f30 coils are okay and have a bit more adjustability. You can always order the spacer to give yourself some extra adjustment though if you need it. They're pretty cheap (<$40 bucks) IIRC.

Do you have a link to that part? I can't find it on their site.
