Lowering

Also I plan on offering a introductory price for the kit if I can get 5-10 people in on buying it (doing this will lower the cost slightly) since I have some of the parts custom made and are priced off of how many I order.

Expect the price to be something like this:
(Price included shipping, tax, etc...)
Front: $150
Front Introductory price: $125
Rear: $150
Rear: Introductory price: $125
Introductory price will be offered if I can get 5-10 people signed up. Once I get the payments, the kits will ship out.

The price is pretty good considering the other alternatives are well over $600 and are not easily removable.

I will be interested in taking a Front/Rear set when it's ready. Given how much experience I have of the air suspension I would be happy to try this.

Do I assume that what your kit actually does is to alter the voltage readings from the hall sensors, thereby sending the control DME a corrected height reading?

p.s. how does it handle on a lower setting (say 1" lower), is there a noticeable improvement from a lower CoG?

Yeah and to make matters worse i called eibach today and they discountinued the lowering kit for the x5's with rear air suspension. Luckily they had a few in stock left so i ordered one thru one of there distributors.

[Estroil 4.8is]

Thanks will do. Either one better H&R or Eibach?

I keep hearing the Eibach is better just from what i have read on here and from previously being very happy with Eibach's on other cars.

Hey for the people that have already lowered your car did you get any kind of camber kit or is there enough adjustment in the factory setup to allow for enough adjustment once lowered?
