The more I drive my xi, the less I like the body roll. From what I've read, the Koni FSD's offer the best compromise between comfort and cornering stability. They aren't shown as a fit for the xi, as you all know, but I'd swear somebody posted that they had used them on an xi with good results. So, I'm wondering how they got them to fit. Anybody remember who that was? I've searched extensively here..but can't find it again 
.
I'd rather not have to replace the springs too, but if I bought the FSD/spring package (is it Eibachs?), would this address the fit issue?
Thanks for your help!!

Won't fit or work. KW makes a set that now works for the XI. Go that route.
