ST XTA Coilovers on 135i e82 M-sport?

Have any of you installed ST XTA Coilovers on 135i e82 M-sport? If so, what's your take on them (handling, comfort, etc)? Also, what range of lowering did you get? I'm looking for a minimal drop given my car scrapes on my driveway with the current M-sport suspension.

TOOEURO has an ST XTA setup, explains it all pretty well in his video linked above.

I've had XTA for the past 2yrs or so. great kit and hasn't leaked yet so durable shock for socal potholes and dips. My setup is far from minimal though, I removed the front helper springs so I can stuff 255 square setup and handling is fantastic when it's not raining. comfort is as expected from lower car.
