Lowering the X5 E70, H&R Springs installation *** Lots of pic's ***

[ChileX5]

I just did the same install using H&R springs (front) and lowering links (back). Everything went well with the installation however for some reason the headlights aim too high now, specially the driver side.

Did this happen to you as well? Were you able to solve this issue?

It is completely normal, just visit the dealer and have them re aim the headlights.

I want to take the plunge and do the drop for my 4.8i as well. I'm just concerned about the ride. Anyone know if Bilstein or any company makes shocks for the truck?

Any updates on those with the drop links? Any long term problems/issues?

About 5k miles on my Dad's X5 after the drop, no issues so far.
Stance is perfect, ride is a little stiffer, but bearable. Headlights will need to be re-aligned afterwards, they're too high.

FYI, I still have those links for sale!

Hey I just ordered the H&R 2" drop kit. And am ordering the custom rear links. Has anyone had any problems with lowering there X5. Does it mess up any warranty?

Thanks

[hiren]

Don't order the links as the H&R kits come with rear links now. About the warranty, I think its obvious.

Just ordered a set and confirmed with TR that the links were in fact included. Great price as well

Hiren,

How much firmer is the rear now that you have it lowered? How bad was your camber once you installed? I still haven't installed the ones I bought from you (maybe this weekend) but the x5 is bumpy enough already imo
