hi does anyone know how i can lower my e53 2001 3.0d it looks like there are no springs on the back so how do i go about doin it thanks paul

If your car has Air suspension fitted in the rear, then you'll need to buy front lowering springs (common used springs are H&R or Eibach) and rear end links for the rear that trip the computer to keeping the car lower.

wilkoturbo: Since you don't have springs in the rear, you must install adjustable rear endlinks or have the dealer lower the rear via computer...... the front end, you can just swap out springs (H&R, Eibach). This is by far one of the best mods to do.......but don't mind me; I dropped it like it's hot.......

question is do your car have air supp.? if not you will need all 4 springs, if its does then you need two front lower springs + rear end lower links.

[wilkoturbo]

i have got air springs so i need the end links then is that what your sayin

[wilkoturbo]
