I have a '03 4.4 with full suspension as well.
It's easy to check if you have a height adjustment button on the left side dash next to the steering wheel, then you have full ride height suspension.

It was an option, though not a great option since it automatically raises once you get up to speed.

I did email Intrax sometime back about the module and never received a response back.

There is another company in germany which sells a module but it seems they only sell to dealers, not direct.

Getting back to my original question for the third time, does anyone know if the 4.6is front springs are lower than the base 4.4i springs?

I don't care about what model may have the full air suspension.

I simply am trying to determine if the 4.6is suspension is lower than a stock 4.4i suspension, if if the spring are simply stiffer.

Let's try to stick to the original question

4.6iS and 4.4i ride height

I recently had my 4.4i lowered 25mm. An acquaintance who has a 4.6iS also had his lowered by the same amount and they are both at the same height...so I would suggest the ride height is the same for both when standard.

My understanding is that my 02 X5 3.0d has rear air suspension. Am I correct guys ? I have no height adjustment switch.
