Not really, these are unique, which is a good thing. As for lowering KW's are in the $2-2.5k range, H&R's are about $250 - pretty easy math really.

No problem, like they say "the only stupid question is the one you on't ask". The difference is that H&R's are just springs, not a full setup like the KW's. However, for Xi models those are currently the only options for lowering.

i agree with whomever said it, but i feel like the wheels arent done justice without the mtech or something other then the stock bumper on it.. there not my cup of tea, but i guess there better then stock right? its not bad at all.. try to pick up a front bumper and some side skirts and it will probably look a whole lot better and youll like them alot more.. itll be less disappointing..

Those are 19" right? Either on the rims you have or an M6 style, that gap needs to close...I think your opinion might change once you get your car lowered.

No I drop my xi using H&R Sport Springs. Some people wouldn't like the ride for spring only but I'm doin' just fine ... KW would be best but $$$ ... GL!
