2013 5.0 Performance lowered on H&R

Drives a little harder with a hint of bounce going over bumps.

I bet - it looks pretty low! How much of a drop?

[IMG][/IMG] Im going to see if the front settles a bit over the next week. Might raise the rear up just a tad. This corners with such little body Roll now. Definitely gives it a sinister look imo. In the process of refinishing my wheels to a gloss black. 12 & 15 mm spacers going on afterwards.I will be sure to get before & after pics.

12MM spacers on up Front & 15mm in the rear. Happy with both my wheels and calipers. Downpipes & Tune for my M Performance next.Adjusted my end links on rear adjustable suspension and it drives perfect! I used 3 coats of primer, paint & gloss for both wheels & calipers.

1) Unless the 5.0 is different than the X5M, I'm pretty sure they only make 1.2" & 2".
2) Your stickers are upside down, they should be flipped over so they're read the same way as the BMW letters are factory stamped on the calipers.

Looks good though :-)
