looking to lower x5
 
I am planning to lower my X5 4.4l. I read janix's write up about the suspension. Does anyone have any opinions on whether H&R or eibachs are better? Are the links that janix wrote about really necessary for the rear or can i just get the front springs and have the dealer lower the rear. Will i have to worry about camber adjustments or is a camber kit needed? thanks in advance for the help.

I installed H&R's on mine. The links are included with the spring kit. You will need to have it aligned after lowering or you will have major inside rear tire wear do to excessive negative camber. Ive installed Eibach and H&R on several vehicles and feel that the H&R's are just a tad stiffer.
