I have a 2013 X5 with 86K miles and recently started to notice that the truck was wallowing over bumps and a bit scary on the highway when going through big dips. I figured that it was time to refresh the suspension but also to lower it modestly. I didn’t want a jarring ride as I live around the NYC area and this is mainly a family vehicle. I heard about Strutmonkey from a family member who installed a factory refresh kit with the stock springs. I got everything installed at a local shop for a great price. Since all of this comes pre assembled, it l cut down on the labor required.

The ride is butter soft at slow speed potholes. You can feel a slight bit increased stiffness. When driving and cornering with a bit more enthusiasm, the body roll is reduced and it feels like I have more traction. It sort of feels lighter. I love the look with a slightly raked drop towards the front. It is a mildly aggressive stance without looking slammed. I couldn’t be happier.
