[whatnot]

I am thinking of getting new springs for my 320iA xDrive Touring, just to make the car look a bit better and firming up the ride a bit - I don't want to slam it since I live in Finland and you actually need some ground clearence during Winter.

Anyone got any suggestions or experience on running lowering springs on xDrives (Touring)?
- Will the steering rack survive?
- How about the front drivetrain? Will it be too stressed with lowered chassis (meaning more angle on the joints).
- How bad will the camber be with otherwise stock setup.
- Which shocks should I go by? I can get slightly used ACS springs (for xDrive Touring) for 150 USD. Which is not bad.
- I know the ACS springs will not lower much on the non-xDrive-version, but any insight on xDrive cars? Since it is completely different (or atleast P/N) springs. AFAIK xDrive chassis has more ground clearance than RWDs.

Thanks.
