Rear Camber kit question

[IzzE53]

I am trying to buy a rear camber kit for my 05 X5 4.4i. I am looking at the bav auto kit but they dont specify one for the X5. Will the kit for the E60 work on the E53 X5?

[bigwave2255]

why do you want a camber kit?, are your tyres wearing unevenly? are you lowering it?

have you run out of adjustment on the standard setup?

I lowered the car 1.5" in the front and 2" in the back with the air ride suspension.
My tires wore unevenly and I ran out of adjustment.

Hi
I just had both front & rear camber/caster kits fitted & the car is superb, such a difference in handling I highly recommend the kits, I already had lowered front springs & comp sway bar plus rear lowered with diagnostic tool at mechanic he reset the default hight to match the front after the alignment I ran out of adjustment on rear & was not happy with the front geometry, tyre wear was not even as well.

So after looking around I went to Kmac Sydney & purchased the kits & had Pedders install & align them which was a huge job...

good info, but does this apply only to airbag suspension or all cars with or without springs

I have REAR air suspension & it works fine I don't see how it would effect any air suspension as the front kit replaces the top strut hat & the rear replaces the standards bushes with concerns bushes so there is really nothing to interfere with the air bag system, except you may have the get the HCU unit reset after installation as the car has been off the ground with the positive battery lead disconnected as it impedes access the the strut bolts
