As I'm not the tallest of people, another bonus is that entry and exit of the X is much easier an takes more stress off the seat lumbar. I have a few pics but as it was a dull, rainy day they aint the best, but I'll get some better ones done shortly. Pics dont it just anyway.

BEFORE



AFTER
Very nice Sudesh. Mild but noticeable difference

Looks great. I've been thinking of doing the same. So you have the stock shocks still on ?

Yeah! I just replaced the front springs then lowered the rear via the DIS method. Been driving it for a ood part of today and I'm very pleased with how comfortable it is. Plus it looks so much better and easier to enter and exit!

Sudesh: What's the best way for me to remove the "X5" emblem from my boot-lid? I love how clean your X is sans emblem.......
