Happy Holidays!

1/2" lower suspension = USELESS I guess that means that towing a 6000# boat, picking up cars from around the midwest, taking my mtn bike to trailheads, going camping down logging roads in northern MN, and going through deep MN snow without issue, are all irrelevant uses for an SUV

It is lower than your truck and is used far more purposefully than you could ever dream of. Get over it

Pics of it's uselessness





Good thing the air suspension can raise it up if I need it! Pretty useful!

Right, take pics of it so you can post it in the forums to see how "useful" it is. Take pics of it so people can see how cool it looks lowered, yet in this thread, people admit that it handles like crap because of the lower spring rate and/or bottoming out.

You don't think mine is useful because you don't see me post pics of me "using" it? smart. More purposefully than I could ever dream of?

That's right, get over it.

BTW, did you hook up a hose to the suspension compressor so you can put air in your tires? How did that work out for you? Another useless mod... make sure you take pics and post in the forum for the world to see, so we can see how useful it is.

What are you, dense? I was the one who said it handled like crap! That's why I had it raised back to a height that didn't sacrifice it's utility! For someone that has such an air of superiority to your posts you sure don't know much about what you're talking about.

Same goes for the compressor. I start a thread asking if something is possible and instead of approaching it as a possibility or even a challenge, you dismiss it because it doesn't fit into your preconceived notions of how I should use my vehicle. You were a worthless addition to that thread, and indeed worthless in this one.

You should just stick to the bodykit threads where you guys can stroke each other's egos without annoying the rest of us.

i say, to each there own. Let's be excited for those of us that don't want to keep their vehicle stock or else this forum would only be filled with clean vehicles that all look the same or mechanical difficulties.

You keep going back and forth with your posts. You were so proud your car is 1/2" lower than mine (hence, you're 1/2" more of a man than I am, I suppose) and now you're reverting back to how it handles like crap in this post?

It's not that it doesn't fit into my preconceived notion of how you should use your vehicle, it just didn't fit my preconceived notion of intelligence.

Bodykit threads? Show me a bodykit thread that I've posted in. You seem to be fixated on my sig. Weird. Gotta love forum kids.

Enjoy your 1/2" lower SAV that handles like crap...Oh wait, you raised it back up - nevermind. Did you just lower it to take pics so you can get props for the SAV looking good? bling bling!

BTW, I think you're the only one getting annoyed. I'm having fun...it's all harmless to me, maybe not to your forum ego. I'm going to stop posting before I get warned.

You're right about one thing, you are annoying.

Thanks for trashing another one of my threads.

[GOFAST GUY]

I've never seen someone on this forum pick such a hard line about something like lowering a vehicle 1/2". Is it really that big a deal?? Seriously?? I, for one, am glad you posted pics of it lowered and then raised up again so I could see the difference between them.

Personally, I'd like to see pics of all the cars Icer006 has had like his signature line boasts. Icer006, please start a new thread with pics of all of those cars. I just want to see what kind of taste you have over all.

Lowering my X5 is within top 3 on "To Do" list. I plan on using the H&R springs that drop it 1.2" because they are supposed to be closest to stock ride quality.

Why have you had problems?

Your info will be appreciated.

There is another thread on Xoutpost that has some pix. I looked at it a few weeks ago. Can't find it now. Anyone able to direct me there?
