D2 Coilovers for the x6

Post by westside » Mon Jan 21, 2013 4:26 pm

i want the x6 a bit lower (another inch or so) the H and R springs have lowered it but I want it a bit lower.  I'm going to order some this week once I get some prices:-) is anyone else tempted?

Anyone interested in my H and R springs only 6 weeks old and done next to no millage :-)

Was thinking of the 750 but I think with the cost of petrol it well just deprecate too much

OMG call me old but some *terrible* wheels on the white and grey X6s in the photos.
Gangsta style gone totally wrong if you ask me. 
Penny Farthing wheels, then slam it to the deck - WTH  :blink: :blink:
I'm happy with ride as it is; lowering is so 'the old me' ;-)

bit of an update on the D2 dealers are a bunch of wankers  >:(, the US wont ship here and tell me to go to the UK dealers, the UK delaers here say that there isnt a kit for the X6 when there is  :'(.  When they did actually find the kit (after I gave them the product code) they want silly money in essence around 350 quid more then if I got it from the states shipped!

long and short of it is I opted for the KWv3 instead worked out 500 quid more bit at least I am dealing with people who know their products!

should be here in about 10 days :-)

I take it they used the 1:1 exchange rate and then added VAT, and a bit on for the 'tea fund', 'bosses holiday fund' and 'fleece the customer fund' on top of the standard price then..... :( >:(

Don't you just hate that!  At least your sorted.  Had you not been I would have offered to get them when in the USofA and posted them myself.  The offers still there should you decide you can wait until July.
