Just snapped some pics today of my wifey's 08 X5 4.8 with H&R Race springs.

Pics: (Sorry the car was filthy dirty)

congrat on the Baby, i guess that was a good reason to put the sav back to stock!

I like it but it's missing something. Maybe some 22's or some kind of bling.

Sorry, what is the point of lowering your suv?

Wow, looks great. I was wondering the other day how much of a drop is the right amount. Looks like you found it. But 2" drop is a LOT. doesn't that result in your SAV running on the shock bumpstops and eliminate most/all of the shock travel? What does it do to the auto level rear suspension and the sport shocks?

You lowered an X5 with H&R race springs?
For your wife's car?

Since most of these will NEVER see off-road, I don't think it's a bad idea.

Totally correct. I will never consider off roading my X5. IMO, the X5 is a rare SUV/SAV that looks way better lowered. Just like a Cayenne would.

Uummm, No! A Cayenne wouldn't look better no matter what you did to it!

I think it looks great

Is there anyway you can clean your X5 and post more pics, I am considering lowering my 35d after I take delivery in November.

So you just purchased the H&R kit, with lowering links for the rear included in the package? How does it handle, did it improve? Is the ride noticeably harsher? I did not get the adaptive drive option because BMW increased the price for 2010 models, if I lower the X5 it will be to improve looks AND handling.
