Hi there...where can I get the best price for a set of lowering springs for my 2002 4.4i with rear air suspension. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

If your just looking for springs(the cheap way) than don't be so stingy with price.. Your already going the cheap way. Whats a couple of hundred compared to full coilovers for 2900.00

Just buy a set of Eibach or H&R lowering springs with my adjustable endlinks for the rear air suspension and save yourself a ton of money. The full coilover set-up mentioned above is over kill unless you want an extreme drop, over 2.5 inches. Or if for some reason you plan on racing the X. Otherwise the lowerng springs/endlinks will do the trick.

I just spoke to the folks at Turner and they have the H & R setup but tell me that Eibach no longer makes a set of springs for the X5.

Thanks for the replies guys. Where did you guys buy your springs which all that I want? How much wheel gap do you have between the tire and the fender or quarter panel Silver 5? I'm curious to compare it to how high my X is right now. Thanks.

I have 22's so it would be a hard comparision if your running stockers. but my kit will lower the rear 1.5-2 inches.

I am getting in a set of Asanti 22" next week which is why I was asking. To see how much of a difference I would be looking at with regards to wheel gap. how much will it drop in the front and back?

Thanks.

I just measured my wheel gap with Eibachs in the front and my endlinks in the rear. Fronts where 2 1/4" and the Rears where 2 1/4". This was taken from top of the tire to the bottom of the wheel arch. With 325/35/22 series side wall.

How much do the available spring kits lower the front of the X5?
