sorry.. I had the springs sent do the shop im having do the install. I'm on vacation right now but I called the shop and had them inspect the box. The mechanic said there looks to be small plastic rods in the box.. his guess was they they are to trick the ride hight sensors. I'm having the install done next Thursday. I'll report back how it goes. Much thanks to the original poster of this thread for doing the initial trial and error work.

Can you comment on the "ride", and any "glitches" on the computer when the rear links were installed?
Thanks,

Perfect drop! not even going to lie... that looks perfect! i puts the ridiculously huge wheel well the X5 has into proportion with the wheels, but yet maintains a normal looking, not ricey, space between the fender and the wheel. Its just perfect.

Looks realy realy good!!! I am going to do the same to my E70.
Did you check out the Hartge, AC Schnitzer before you decided to go with the H&R?

Thanks for the pictures!
