Question Lowering Springs

Has anyone lowered their ride height by changing the springs? Was thinking of lowering my 4.6 but would like to see some pics?

I have to say I like that! The springs I'm thinking on buying are Eibach. Was it hard to change the springs??

at the same time i was having my springs installed,
i was having my tires replaced. plus, once u lower
the front, the dealer will need to lower the rear via
DIS.

Oh ok! So I take it you only get lowering springs for the front? Then the rear has to lowered with the dealer?

well, i believe that u have the same X5 as i and if so, yes.
the rear suspension of our MY X's is air. they have to
connect it to some machine and lower it accordingly.
there are directions on how to do this on the homepage
of X5World.
