Here are the adjustable rear end links for anyone who wants to lower the rear!!

These will fit 00-06 with rear air suspesion. I just have 2 sets right now. I will have more in by next week. They are fully adjustable end links to lower the rear of the air suspension on the X5. Here is a side by side comparison for the adjustable and Oem Endlinks. One of the adjustable endlinks is set at the factory height the other is adjusted to the H&R height of a 1" drop. I have lowered my X 1 1/2" without an issue. I haven't had a chance to lower it any further. Why pay more to have the dealer lower the rear via the DIS for a one time deal. You can lower the rear or rasie it with just a few turns. I can even adjust mine with the wheels on, I have 22" wheels tho. Also if anyone with a 4 wheel air suspension would like to be a test subject let me know and maybe we can work something out. I'm not sure if the front can be lowered the same way. I will post this in the classifeds now, I just wanted to get some feedback. Thanks for looking Rob

I'm definitely interested in them. But I'd need springs for the front.

I've been selling my other Eibach springs forever, but they did sell last week.

Quick question, so if I got my springs installed at a shop, would you be willing to do the install of the rear end links?

If you were willing to drop off the X for a few hours I could install the springs and links at once. I did the Spring on my X myself. You would just have to take it to get aligned. Where are you in CT?

Let me know when you get your springs. I can install the springs and endlinks for $140 and that includes the price of the endlinks. If you could get a ride while I install them that would be a good idea just incase I run into a problem. I didn't have any with mine but you never know. Keep in touch, Rob

Hey Rob,

I'm planning on getting the springs in a week or two, and was wondering if the offer was still up to install them? Also, how much do you think it'd be to get the car aligned? Thanks in advance bro.
