In theory, IN THEORY, any camber plate designed to work with the OEM springs should work with coilovers that are meant to be installed using the OEM top hats.

Broadway Static uses Fortune 500 coilovers as their base. They have options to upgrade to swift springs and custom rates in addition to pillow ball mounts. I had a set on my e46 m3, 14 kg fronts and 18 kg rears haha. They're more so intended for dropping the car incredibly low, almost laying frame. But 4 track days with them on and they held up incredibly nice. Plus, the color scheme is amazing

Great write up. Just convinced me to buy a pair. What side skirt extensions do you have if you don't mind asking? I've been struggling to find a decent carbon fiber pair that sticks out as far as yours does

Hey DeeM55 : How are the ST XAs after 3 years?
I'm about to replace my EDC shocks and am loving your post here. Thanks!

I can answer this since I’ve also owned them for about 3 years. They’ve been great. No issues. Ride is smooth. Not rough. You keep that luxury feel instead of feeling every single bump on the road. Don’t hesitate and get them!

And one more thing...
If anyone was curious, the Spring Rates for the ST XA Coilovers (rebound adjustable) is

Front (progressive rate spring) 226lbs per inch
Rears 630lbs per inch

I'm doing a YouTube review on these soon. I'll post here when it's online.
But agree with the OP. The difference is a good-amazing, especially over the EDC suspension.

Can you send the link of that review? I'm really worried about the height on the back, I think it's too low for my 340i xdrive...
