So we decided, the X1 will have to go to a real BMW shop for the front install, just to be safe!

Note how comparable the rears are to stock. Perhaps a bit thicker and one extra coil, but not sure how much longer they are - the angle isn't really the best to be able to tell.





I have to finish up this week though, heading out for a camping / 4x4 trip this coming weekend
