Shock Options for e90 xi
Ok, So I've been trying to find new shocks, preferably Koni adjustable or something similar. However, there doesn't seem to be any options out there for the xi. Does anyone have any options or know of anything that I don't.
Any info would be awesome! Since I lowered my car on H&R sports (330xi), it just doesn't ride the same and I'd like to get the correct rate shocks for the springs so that it takes bumps better. |

I'm thinking it may be a while. Koni only just released front shocks for the E46 Xi within the past year.

Seems like Bilstein has an option for their Pss9, but isn't that coilovers and not just shocks? I'm calling them tomorrow to get the real story. I'll update when I find out.

Koni does not make a shock for the E90 xi at this time
Bilstein, however, does make a PSS9 dual adjustable coilover system that will work with the E90 all wheel drive. It's more expensive, but right now it is the only option! Contact us for pricing. JL |

The suspension comes with EVERYTHING you need. Shocks, Spring hats, springs... everything.
The car will lower a minimum of about 1/8" and a maximum of about 1.5-2" I believe. JL |

Bad news guys. The coils are available, and I can offer great pricing on them, but they do NOT fix the xi as the website indicates

BTW, you should check first about PSS9. After I installed mine it got some noise on the front suspension when go over a bump. Not sure if the noise was from the springs or not (front pair only) maybe metal to metal. I would prefer for you to check out KONI with EIBACH, or other brand. You should check with the shop first if they have any noise problem after it is installed. I have noise though. I heard it good for smooth condition road not too bumpy like Autoban in Germany or the highway in the U.S. In my country there is alot of pot holes and bump. (not suitable for PSS9) but it provide very smooth ride and firm grip. Very nice..... |

What did you end up paying for the springs? I'm 90% sure we will match or beat it for everyone else (I can upload this product to the site if it's something you guys want to order!)
