I am new to the forum, I recently purchased a 2008 X5 4.8. So far I am very happy with it, its a great car!

However I am a bit of a snob when it comes to the ride height of my vehicles. I have always lowered my cars, and I would like to do the same to the X5. I know an X5 is an SUV and is not ideal in a lowered state, but I am willing to accept the consequences.

I know there are spring kits for these cars, but I have always been biased to the customization that only coilovers can deliver. After endless days of researching whether a coilover kit can be fit to a self leveling X5, I have still not found anyone that has done this successfully. KW and D2 says it can not be done.

My question is, has anyone ever attempted this? I know with the X5M's some guys have just used the KW shocks on the rear and used the links to adjust the height. Anyone done this on the regular X5's?

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks
