Test drove Hayaku's 4.4i with camber plate
Anyhow, we had a little X5 meet with Hayaku meeting up with me for lunch....gave me an opportunity to test drive their 4.4i with the RE Camber Plates....wow, what a noticeable difference especially on a 4.4i with it being slightly heavier at the front end.... really reduces the understeer....I forgot how much more torque the 4.4i gives the X5 vs. the 3.0i.....

Dang, I gotta get those camber plates on soon.....

Question, anyone know if Eibach sells struts and shocks in addition to their springs?

Anyhow, thanks Hayaku for letting test it out.

Eibach make suspension kits using shocks from other manufacturers.like BOGE and SACHS.

BILSTEIN not only do shocks for the X5 but they also come as oem on my X5 3.0D.

Eibach USA is located in Corona, CA....I should give them a call to see if they have any application other than springs for the X5....

I have rear Bilstein shocks for OEM, but I think my front struts are SACHS. I have '01 X5 3.0i with sports package and rear air suspension.

you're very welcomed.... the plate install will be the perfect time to swap struts and springs (lower the car) if you like...
