If your car has Air suspension fitted in the rear, then you'll need to buy front lowering springs (common used springs are H&R or Eibach) and rear end links for the rear that trip the computer to keeping the car lower.

sorry if iam been silly but that means i just need to lower the front thankyou for your help paul

wilkoturbo: Since you don't have springs in the rear, you must install adjustable rear endlinks or have the dealer lower the rear via computer...... the front end, you can just swap out springs (H&R, Eibach). This is by far one of the best mods to do.......but don't mind me; I dropped it like it's hot.......

question is do your car have air supp.? if not you will need all 4 springs, if its does then you need two front lower springs + rear end lower links.

wilkoturbo 04-15-2008 04:09 PM

what are the endlinks and where can i buy em from plus will bmw charge me for lowering via computer will it mess the car up thks plus yiur car is hot lol

wilkoturbo 04-15-2008 04:13 PM
