Lowering springs

joll · #1 03-04-2005, 08:36 PM

Is there any difference between on the springs on a X5 3.0 and 4.4?

I got a 4.4 and was looking at ebay for some lowering springs and according to the auction it's for 3.0 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

Have sent a e-mail to the seller but no answer yet....

Go directly to H&R and find your application. H&R also povides you with a list of local authorized distributors for your area.

I have this setup on my 01 4.4 for about 20,000 plus miles now without a problem.

no difference, other than if you have air suspension on the rear of your 4.4 you will only need the front 2 springs. it will fit regardless.

Front and rear will be lowered approx. 1.5" and 0.5", respectively. Same with SP or no SP.

Is there any step-by-step guide how to change springs (rear and front)?

Could someone please post a pic of what an X5 looks like lowered?? I'm interested in having it done.

How is the ride quality when lowered?? Is it much stiffer?Did it improve the handling?

Thanks

Here's my 4.4i lowered with H&R springs. Ride quality is definitely compromised as it is stiffer but handling is improved.

Looks nice Breyton !

Any regrets?

Nope. I love how it looks without the huge wheel gaps. Yeah, I could do w/o the bouncy ride but it's a compromise for sharper look and better handling/cornering.
