i lowered my x5 3.od sport with Ibach springs and have changed the front struts to Sachs and replaced the rear shocks with Bilsteins, and i have to say it rides and handles better that it ever did. and no loss of handling, if anything turn in to corners seems better

the stock set up in my opinion makes the car ride way to harsh it felt like it was trying to drive through pot holes rather than absorb the impact.

im a huge fan of lowered X5,s

the only negative i have is that i now have to much negative rear camber and the adjuster are maxed out requiring a camber kit to correct.

but small price , in my view to pay for the overall great looks and especially improved rice quality.
