stackz is on a distinguished road
thinking of lowering the x5 some

going to go up under the car in the near future to replace the shocks/struts since its time.

its only a little more work to swap the springs out while I'm in there so I'm thinking of dropping it a little bit.

what spring brand does everyone go with?

I've seen eibach and H&R springs advertised for the non-airbag suspension guys like me. I've used both manufacturers in the past with other cars but curious what people think of them on these.

or if there's another brand out there? I've seen one that advertises as Lo engineering thats a 1.4"/1.4" drop but that might be a bit much on stock type struts/shocks I'm thinking.

I've also seen a B&G brand but just like Lo engineering, never heard of them before.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
H&R springs or B&G would be fine, eibach as well.

just make sure you get decent replacement shocks, bilstein are noticeably stiffer
