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.
