Where did you buy 166s from, how much did you pay and what diameter are they?
Also, being replicas, do they look decent and how much do they weight?
I have silver xiT with Mtech kit and now picking the wheels.
I am on the fence between 166 and M3 replicas - tirerack has M3 knock offs as Elbrus I08.
I am looking into 18" rims though, not ready to drop 2.5 grand on KW coilovers right now.
I always thought H&R were too harsh for my taste, even plain Sport version. And this is after years in Honda/Acura camp riding on pretty stiff suspensions...
If only Eibach could make springs for xi models..
Please do let us know how the ride feels on H&R springs.

And what is the process of wheel alignment with our air suspension and how much it costs...

On the other hand, I was sure there were no springs available for the xi models (only coilovers), but you learn something new every day.
