The cool thing about the mods is that you can do these at your own pace. And man, your pace is fast! I'll be following your post and pics! Thanks for sharing!

Anytime! I personally prefer all of my vehicles to be lowered. Sometimes it's substantial -
like with my M3's - and sometimes it's modest, as with the X5. I felt like the 2" H&R kit was a bit too much for what I wanted out of this vehicle (..
and it didn't align with the look that I'm striving for; the 2" drop makes the truck look too nose heavy). As per another thread, the 2" springs settled at more than a 2.5" drop; the 1.2" drop settles around 1.5". The latter was much more in line with what I wanted (..
Skunk's X5 was perfect reference material, as was the individual who posted the thread in which he began with 2" springs and moved to the 1.2")...an even drop all the way around, with some fender gap, but minimized. As for the ride, it truly is like a stock ride UNTIL you push it around corners. It is then that you realize the handling improvement. It is very noticeable. You will love the drop on spacers Sue.
