Do you like your lowered x? How did you do it?

Thanks guys.

BTW, anyone looking for advice on the lowering of a fully air ride equipped truck let me know. I am beyond happy with the outcome. Plus, no more expensive air ride components going bad.

If you've removed the full air system then the lowering links will do nothing for you in the rear. They adjust the level sensors which controls the air ride.

Below is a photo of the lowering links from the H&R lowering kit (found HERE) for the E53 with rear air suspension.

R - my info says Eibach does the fronts, but they are only available in the front rear kits like the one HERE.

Hi ECS ... great products and service from your company .. keep it up .... regarding the 'kit' .... according to my 37 calls and web searches and then speaking to Jarred at Eibach ... his engineers have informed him that the problem was severe enough to stop manufacture and then recall all they could get and that they are not going to rebuild ... sooooo .. looking for someone else .. because the rear is ... 'amazing' .. anyway .. i have actually made 37 calls (yep .. i started counting) because the rear was that improved.

thanks for posting and hopefully you can help me find '1' ...

cheers,

your faithful customer,

Well we just had a few sets come in and ship out recently so they are still moving the kits .
I have one of my parts guys looking around for a front option for you, I'll posted it up if we find a front only option that's worth wild.

hi ecs .. this looks like Eibachs purported "EIB-2074.320" ... the one that Dave at ECS said they could not get .. hence my calls to Eibach 800.507.2338 and a wonderful conversation with Leah and then a transfer to Jarred and a conversation with his engineering department ... who .. said .. 'no' ..

if you do indeed have a front sway bar p/n 2074.310 34mm (in a kit even p/n 2074.30 front 34mm rear 26mm) .. i am interested...

Eibach Springs : EPS Application Look-up | suspensions | springs | dampers | stabilizers | shocks | sway bars | anti-roll bars | wheel spacer | coil over | engine valves >> eibach has removed from their product line ...

let me know if you can actually lay your hands on this .. and .. I will be interested... so far 3 companies have said they will ship .. only to find out that they cannont get .. please prove me wrong ..

thanks ..
