No, The lowering kit comes with new front springs to lower the front. To lower the rear there are links on each side that attach to a electrical connection. That connection tells the vehicle how much to increase air pressure to bring the X5 up to spec height. The link is adjustable so the shorter you adjust the link the lower the backend will be, in other words, the shorter link fools the self leveling system into thinking the backend is at spec level. The OE link is not adjustable.

ah, make sense, i was wondering how you'd lower the car with self levelling suspension...
Are you running stock shocks with the new springs on the front? how much stiffer is the ride? I had my e46 lowered with springs on stock shocks and really like the look but hated the ride...

I got to thinking about the spacers I have. I went back the 2010 invoice and found I purchased them from Velocity Motorcars and they are 17mm.
Sorry about the error. I have attached an example of the link from H&R.

I have Bilsteins struts on the front and stock shocks in the rear. The ride is stiffer but I can feel the road much more than I could before. I also installed Eibach front and rear sway bars, that REALLY made a difference in turn in and body lean.

Will see how the ride is on a bigger rims and low profile tires before i decided if i want to lower it... the roads are pretty bad around here...
