I have had KSports for nearly 2 years, I had H&R sport springs before that. I can tell you, the KSports ride is adjustable 36 ways, so you can definitely find a setting that is to your liking. I prefer mine to be stiff so I have mine 3 clicks from stiffest all the way around. The ride is rigid, but not uncomfortable (for me). the beauty of the KSports is the vast ability to adjust the ride settings and height to your tastes and comfort level. I'd definitely recommend them, and I think of the approximately dozen or so installs I have done they would recommend them as well.

I don't think Ksport makes coilovers for xi's. I'm looking into coilovers for mine and so far I've been told only kw and Cks make they for my xi.

Correct, only KW and CKS for Xi models. KSport is for 2WD E60s up to and including the M5, but on an M5 it would cause error messages because the M5 has EDC (Electronic Damper Control).

However, CKS are ALSO fully adjustable in ride comfort and around the same price as KSports.
(sorry, didn't notice the OP had an Xi. Oops)

Again, not sure because I don't have an Xi, but I would double check before the purchase just in case. Contact member AcutePerformance (Michael) he sells KSports - nearly all forum members got them from him. He is really responsive and he can answer any questions you have. I hope you're right, because I really like my KSports.

Honestly my ksports ride pretty rough and I'm not super low. I may go back to a more oem spring/shock setup.
