how to lower ride height

[SVTFreak]

I want to lower the X. what is the best way to go about doing it with my configuration. sport package, with wir ride rear but not adjustable. the dealer told me they could program a lower ride but it would only lower the back. so do i do this then get springs for the front or springs on all 4 corners?

I replaced 2 H&R springs for fronts, end links for rears to lower my ride height.
I also have sports package and air ride system, after installed springs, found that the rear was higher than I expected.
so I went to local independent BMW shop to lower the rear by DIS computer since my dealer didn't want to touch the aftermarket stuffs.

I had a friend who works for BMW NA use the GT1 to make the middle setting lower by about an inch. I can still put in in low mode, which will make it go even lower when parked, but once you go above 20mph it will raise up to the new middle setting, which like i said is already programmed lower than stock. I believe thats really the only way to get a permanent drop on the air suspension. anyone else have experience with this?

Ya my car is already dropped like that i did it through my BMW dealership.
But im just thinkin if i could make it stay in the lowest setting when i do go above 20mph that would jurastically change my handling and OBV would make the car look twice as good as it is in the middle setting!!

Thorney Motorsport was trying to get something like that to work, but they dont reply to emails, id be willing to pay like 600-800$ if it was completely plug N play and all u had to do was connect to ur OBD port kind of like a shark chip.

COME ON IM BASICALLY OFFERING MONEY OVER HERE lol

I talked to John from Thorney, the module isn't plug and play yet. It still needs to be wired in. He is willing to work with a shop to assist with hooking it up.
