I just opened the H&R box thats been in the garage for over a month! It has the plastic looking rear links described. I have 2 sets now since I bought the ones from Silver 5!

Who wants some brand new rear lowering links?

Not hijacking the thread but this picture is for anyone contemplating H&R 50435 (2"F, 1.2"R) without self levelling. May as well be a one-stop thread for lowering

Did this today and am very happy with the result, ride etc. With the 214's I thought it would be a LOT rougher ride but surprisingly not to bad. Turning corners is sweet

Cheers

Beautiful X5. Is that a special order white? Looks metallic or a optical illusion.

Believe it or not its a metallic Silver. In that shot there is evening sunlight on it and its a tad yellowish. Some days it looks white, some days silver and some days like undercoat.

And yes it was a special order Thanks for you comment. In fact everyone that washes it, works on it always comments about the color.

Cheers

Can you explain the lowering process for the rear .
How are the links adjusted to get the one inch drop ?

Also what if you wanted a lower level how is that achieved ?

Thank you

The links are threaded with adjustable nuts to obtain the ride height to your liking.

Here is a pic of a set I'm selling.

I got mine lowered at the local BMW shop in here in Norway. They did the drop on the back with software.. I think they just put in a 1,2" to wigh number on the adjustment, and it lowerd that much..

My Hamann lowering kit came with a recommendation of a drop on the back. I just stick with it
