X5M H&R 1.2" Springs & Spacers Install
With the help of so many members I was able to decide on what lowering system to go for on this truck. I decided on H&R 1.2" Springs, H&R 12mm front and 20mm rear spacers and F10 M5 Comp Bump stops from @[ECSTuning](contact:41909) . ECS went above and beyond to put together the package for me and have it delivered to me within a week of ordering, all the way to Bahrain. Here are the install pics: Stock front Shock with stock spring H&R 1.2" Spring OE X5M E70 Bum Stop Vs OE M5 F10 Comp Bump Stop OE Vs H&R Spring Ready to install H&R Spring and F10 M5 Comp Bump Stop Installed OE Vs H&R Rear Adjustable Height Links. These were set to 65mm or so i thought. It turns out they were set to 61-62mm, my mistake. We fixed this later. Removing rear Shocks and installing F10 M5 Comp Bump Stops, They have to be pressed into the top hats by hand. Im glad i changed these as the old ones were gone from the heat Jonathan Torquing every thing to spec H&R 12mm front and 20mm rear Spacers with ECS Extended Bolts: Before Spacers and lowering springs Installing Spacers, hubs were cleaned and anti-seize applied Spacers installed Finished Pics with both the spacers, springs and bump stops installed: The rear was too low and as soon as I left the shop the car was bouncing so much and the rear was so hard that it gave me a headache. Went back and adjusted the links properly this time to the H&R specified 65mm and the car drives perfect. Everything is a bit tightened up. This is the way the truck should have come from the factory. Pic of the before and after height measurements Sorry I ran out of memory on the DSLR so I will take some updated pics this week and post them up here. Thanks for reading. |
