I have the 18" wheels with bigger moe aggressive tires for the winter.
I plan on doing 20" when winter season is over. |

I am totally sick of my air suspension and just pulled the trigger on these using the Amazon link... Thanks guys!
Do I need anything additional to install on my 4.8is? On another thread, RajB said the following were necessary for the KW coilover install so I just wanted to double check with you guys. Quote:

I did a complete suspension rebuild while I was at it...you're already going to be taking so much apart as is.

I changed all my front arms and tie rod assemblies (will be doing the rear shortly but you don't really screw around with it as much in back). The BC kit comes with everything you need to install it. No additional bushings or bearing plates needed.
If you bought v3s you will need: Quote:

I had BC coilovers on my Mini Cooper and e36 m3 and loved them. I did have a noise issue in the front from the pillow ball bearing failing which BC replaced for free, but it sucks when you have to do the labor twice. Since BC probably uses the same size pillow ball bearing and with the heavy weight of the x5, I'm wondering if it would be wise to not use their included camber plates and replace it with a 2.5" top perch and then re-use the stock strut bearings (instead of BC camber plates). Do you have any noise issues in the front? |

I also have a slight clunking noise which annoys the shit out of me because everything is new. I'm pretty certain its the plates and intend on replacing them but with the most recent "surprises" i've experienced recently with the car I'm going to hold off for a bit. If you go with stock mounts please list the parts needed and take pictures if you can. It seems like more and more people are going this route so i'm all for giving max amount of information (thus my lengthy posts).

^^Can you not just reuse the stock strut mount and bearing with the BC kit instead of their front camber plates?
