OVERVIEW

The ST XTA coilover kit for the E88 1 Series convertible gives you height adjustment, 16-click rebound damping and camber-adjustable top mounts on the heavier drop-top chassis.

ST is the value brand of KW Automotive. The XTA sits at the top of the ST coilover range: height adjustable, with 16 distinct clicks of rebound damping adjustment and aluminum unibal top mounts that also allow camber adjustment.
