Re: Lowering the X5... advice needed!

just ordered the front springs.

sorry if this is a dumb question but if i order the rear links does it not need to go on a scanner? will the links alone drop the rear?

also would i be ok to lower the front and sort the rear out at a later date?

thanks

[quote="andym3"] Why are people wanting to lower a X5?

Re: Lowering the X5... advice needed!

does anyone know of anyone in the northwest who can programme the rear air suspension?

cheapest price i have had is for me to supply the springs @ £161.00 then labour of £243 so a total of £404.00

that seemed a little steep to me? opinions please...

regards

Then pulled onto the drive and noticed the inside of the car was full of smoke, switched off the car and called the fire brigade!

Lowering the X5... advice needed!

Morning,

Basically im looking at lowering the car, not got to be "slammed" but just a decent drop all round. Im a little lost over the rear, im guessing the front is simple springs but how do you lower the rear?Mine doesnt have air suspension i dont think? how would i know?

thanks

4.4 rear silences on 3.0

Long story short but a mate has the rear silences from his 4.4 e53.
Will these fit straight onto my 3.0 petrol?

cheers
