Why are people wanting to lower a X5? Its a 4x4 it meant to be higher up!  :blink:
If you want a vehicle that's low to the floor buy a sports car (M3, M5 or a Jap motor)  )

to be fair ive always thought that, and still do to a degree but since putting my 20" x6 wheels on i cant help but think it would look finished just a few mil lower.

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

yes rear links will lower with no need for scanner etc, just put them on and it fools the module into thinking the cars at correct height when its in fact lower
