That said, what others items are you thinking, I am definitely open to suggestion. Considered adjustable rear arms but for no lower than mine is I wasn’t sure it was necessary.

Great that suspension has been refreshed.

Wider rims that will handle wider tires is a mod to consider when new tires are needed. If you are patient you can find rims fairly reasonable and it is another mod that has a side benefit of improving the appearance.

Think of a lower center of gravity as sitting in the seat of your X5 verses sitting in the seat but on the roof. Or driving a go cart around a curve verses a semi around the same curve. Dropping it as little as an inch on both ends is helpful. If nothing more it instills more confidence the vehicle will do what you ask of it.

There's lots more you can do but unless you DIY, the labor makes it a poor value equation--expense verses performance improvement.
