Need A Push!!!! or Not!!!!
 
I have almost convinced myself to Lower my 4.4. I am looking at the Eibach springs that lower the X 1.2''. The only problem that I face is do I or don't I? My shop said that the rear has a part from Eibach that will lower the rear but I know I have air suspension in the rear. I thought I had to go to the dealer for them to lower the rear. Does anyone have any experience with the Eibachs? So Yes or No with this MOD?

sounds weird. the rear has air springs that you cant change and i dont think eibach has something for this. i would go to the dealer ahd have them lower the rear.

I'm really tempted to do the same thing, except with that module that overrides the lifting at 24mph and having the dealer lower it as well like Imola4.8 did

he doesnt have that problem he only has rear air suspension much easier.

Take a look. Someone just posted this same issue last week. They installed the springs, then went to the dealership and had the rear dropped due to the air shocks used for self-leveling.

But, take note: I believe the gentleman is having issues with tracking after he had the springs installed, the rear adjusted and then had a four wheel alignment done.

So, remember: if you lower the X, get a 4-wheel alignment performed so you don't tear up your tires.

So I take it I should go ahead and lower it?
