along with these additional pieces:
BMW X5 Front 6 Piece Control Arm Kit By Meyle
BMW X5 Rear Ball Joint OEM
and a set of Powerflex subframe bushings.

The Pelican Parts kit is very nice - thorough and complete with all the incidental parts for the job are included, excellent quality and fit throughout. My mechanic had a lot of good things to day about their product.

If you've run out past 100,000, you should really think about doing this kind of a refresh. You'll be very happy with the results.

holy jesus thats expensive. So you just did shocks, but not springs? Or do you have SLS?

Did you do it yourself or have a shop do it?
