Lowering e53 3.0i

Post by Kruger3984 » Tue Aug 05, 2014 9:48 pm

Hi

Was looking to lower my x5 30mm

I have checked and I believe I have self levelling air suspension on the rear, am I right in assuming by lowering the front suspension with springs the rear with self level due to the front becoming lower???

Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Shorter springs on the front, you can code the suspension height with BMW Scanner 1.4.0 or a company on EBay do a drop link for the suspension ride height sensor arm.
