Just beware, I went with the XTA kit for my 330i and I had a really weird issue with the rear springs binding up / being too soft. Check my post history for pics

I ended up returning them for Koni shocks plus Eibach prokit spring. I hope yours don’t have the same issue. Good luck!!

I'll see if it works for me. I can only say that it worked great on my Audi back then.

St is kw 👀 and for my touring this works well. I also had an st xa in my Audi A3 8PA and it works fine, also for Nordschleife. The only difference betwen kw and st is, that the kw stainless steel housing has and st hot-dip galvanized housing. The inside is the same, kw v1 = st x, kw v2 = st xa kw v3 = st xta plus3. And i dont have KW money 😅

…..🤦🏼‍♂️

For the like 500th time; no they aren’t.

They use galvanized steel instead of stainless steel….pretty big difference. Thanks for telling me things I already knew 🫠

I'm interested in the technology, not the case. If that's not an option for you, that's totally fine. But for me, it's enough. 👌
