I can try to get back and take pics. All I did was go through the EWS and choose the LCM as the ecu I wanted to process. After that I just scrolled down to the bottom and took the EHC error off the list of warnings that show up in the dash. I am a greenie as well though lol. I found out most tricks the hard way of messing it up and trying to fix it lol. Also coded the double blink on my flashers while I was in there. I love that feature even though it's nothing special lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't understand why anyone would install coilovers on a 4.8is with EHC2 (4 wheel adjustable suspension). It's a great system and easily adjustable with INPA. When the system works as it should, it's amazing. It's the main reason the 4.8is beats the 4.6is overall, and the E70 for that matter.

2004 4.8iS BC Coilovers

So, for me it's as simple as cost effective and comfort. The 4 wheel adjustable suspension is a nifty feature if you're constantly lowering or raising it up. Also, in my case, I like it lowered. When the air suspension is lowered as far as mine is now it rides like it's on bouncy balls. Very soft and bouncy. I prefer the lowered look and feel. So I went with coilovers. I have had the truck almost 2 years now and spent more money on 2 new front air struts than all 4 coilovers. Also, I can guarantee you that the X5 taking a turn at say 55-60 mph definitely has body roll. Since installing the coilovers the body roll is completely gone with my settings and it is much more responsive. I drive aggressive and enjoy it (why else get a 4.8) and the coilovers beat the air suspension hands down in every aspect from a performance stand point. And as far as ease of adjustment, the coilovers have a 30 setting dampening system you can literally get out and turn the lever to the left or right and adjust the comfort or the ride. Hands down easier than INPA for adjusting the feel of the ride. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks like a great setup! The ride height looks perfect and no body roll! wow!
My question is, on the rear suspension, the coil-overs attach where the shocks would normally. What about the air spring? Is it removed or still there?

Mine are still there. After installing I noticed the bags in the rear are not "smooched" so didn't see a need it taking them out. It's not hurting them anymore than lowering it using the switch on the console. I capped off all air lines to keep them clean in case it was a bust and I wanted to reinstall. And yea, absolutely no body roll. It handles a corner as good if not better than my 540 with an M suspension setup now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
