Home Page Also, I know when I've lowered my past cars with coilovers, I always had to replace the front sway bar endlinks. But what do you mean you need to install these "for the self leveling sensors?" |

Those little arms I posted above will fit in the palm of your hand...they go from the control arm to the self leveling sensor. Someone else sent me that pic showing what they made, but since I haven't connected my SLS, I haven't made the arms.
When I did my coilovers I completely rebuilt the engine suspension.

I both requested and paid extra for the adjusters.

I kept the rear airbags and used the H&R lowering kit to get the stance I wanted. I understand the benefits of coilovers but I don't think the value is there when used on an X5.

I did this conversion on my truck today and the only thing I regret is NOT DOING IT WHEN I HAD THE FIRST ISSUE WITH MY OEM AIRBAGS. Amazingly enough "m5james" responded to my email ASAP When I ran into a simple problem. This was a super easy project to do but you do need professional tools and be handy. Took me about 3 hours. The issue I had was one thing after another with this cheap oem airbag design from bmw. At first I tough the kit was wrong because it had no rear springs where the air bags go I though it was wrong and that is when I contact m5james and he helped me out. The rear air bags you can either just leave them there and deflate them I just removed them. The new coil over shock will do all the work from now on. Truck looks clean and rides even smoother then before. I recommend everyone this kit 100% for a cheap good solution. Here are pics of turn out. I will be lowering a bit more next weekend. Right now it looks nice and clean and I wanted the springs and weight to settle in and then I will readjust them. Thanks |

Here is one more shot and my kit cost $950 bucks on eBay. I just use it on weekends and stuff nothing to crazy so I'm sure they will hold up ok

Hi guys - how are you all getting on with the BC's ?
My 4.8 is being a bit of a nightmare and I only want to use it as a daily and for towing so would these work ok ? Did you just code out the suspension warning and disconnect the compressor ? Great work and innovation |
