I'm just trying to help out X5 owners. I lost $70 when I order my Eibach springs, thinking I could find a local dealer that would lower my X via the DIS, and was forced to sell them at a loss and buy the H&R's.

This will eliminate the guessing if a dealer would perform the adjustment. Believe me I'm not getting rich from these parts. I'm only making $5-$10 on each set. I'm no vendor, just a regular shumo that made a product that I thought would help with this problem. I would not be willingto pay the vendor fees because I'm not making enough profit to cover the fees. I'd just stop selling them.

What is the greatest benefit from lowering the rear suspension that you have seen? Have you notice uneven tire wear on the inside edge like you have on BMW cars without camber adjustment or have they not been on the X5 long enough to see that yet?

Sometimes the little handling gain is at the expense of very pricy tires. I would love to see what your results have been.

No matter what vehicle is being lowered, X5 or other, camber will come into play when being lowered. It all depend to what extreme you lower it. A 1" drop will have little to no effect on the X5. Anything lower then that will have some effect, how much is up in the air. I've had mine on my X5 since the begining of April, about 3k miles. The rear was lowered 1" and the front 1 1/4" I have no signs of tire wear on my 22's. I have no regrets with lowering my X5. I now have no ugly wheel gap with my aftermarket wheels and the X handles nice with the lower center of gravity. Yes the ride is a tap stiff compared to stock but I feel that the low profile tires have more to with that then the lowering springs.
