i thought that but remembered that the Bags get installed one way. left side only fits on left side and same for the right side. each bag on the bottom is keyed to fit into the control ar for the spring clip and on top it has a guide pin that is clocked specifically for its side each bag has a different PN for left and right side as well which i confirmed.

these are ARNOTT Sport bags from FCP euro if that makes a difference

i know people on here have said you need Comfort bags for 4.8s with sport suspension VO but then someone else posted an email they received from an engineer at Arnott that stated the bags were identical in size and sport vs comfort had nothing to do with size width/height and the only different was in spring rate for comfort vs sport.

makes me wonder how many people with air suspension that installed adjustable camber and toe arms even looked at how close their bags were to the inner fender well. im sure people dont even look at that and most people probably just used the adjustable arms so that they could lower their X5 and then be able to align the rear to stock OE specs of -2.1 and in my case i tried to go beyond that and it was just not going to work.
