Lowering an X5 5.0: Eibach or H&R?

No worries Zoo. I hope that it works out. Once you get it adjusted you won't want to remove them. No they won't be like Coilovers but then again they are not 3K either.

The ride is compliant enough for everyday use. I don't even notice it lowered anymore but other people at the dealership when I brought it in for service asked me if I lowered it. They seem to notice it immediately. I think it is subtle.

Thanks again!

When I dropped down to 20"s from the OEM Style 215 21"s I felt like it looked like I had miniature little wheels on it. Its amazing how we now think 20"s look small.. just 10 years ago they were 'huge'.

That said I love the way it looks dropped .. but I'm paying the price with ride comfort and I'm not sure I can do it anymore. I'm hoping a happy medium will eliminate the goofy look with the smaller wheels I put on it, and still ride decent. I'm not a picky guy, and like I said.. I've been driving it this way for almost 2 years.. but it is getting a bit tiring now. Then again maybe I screwed up my suspension from driving it so low for the last 2 years.
