I initially installed ST shocks from their Coilovers kit, but felt they were too soft.

For the most part, this set up was great for the daily purpose in terms of ride quality and feel. I was pretty happy with the height as well.

NOTE: the e90 knuckles are 1.5" lower than x1 knuckles
Loving the stance, I'm thinking of going the same route and just wondering when you fitted the e9x knuckle was there any modifications required?

I'm thinking of reusing my e84 struts again but afaik, the e84 struts are bigger and wont fit the e9x knuckle yea?
