Lower an X5
Hi all, new to the board. love it!
What's the overall opinion of lowering X5's? I have '09 xDrive 4.8 and I'm seriously considering taking her 1.5-2.0 inches lower, but my dealer said it's a bad idea with X5s, they are meant to stay the way they are, the suspension is very sensitive on those cars (supposedly). I'm not sure if I believe this, I'm under the impression u can easily lower any car, as long u use good shocks, struts and even coilovers, they would be better than the factory ones, right? I want it just a little lower, I don't really like that high SUV look, esp having a 911 and E46 lowered to a point I can't go down into my garage. I don't want the car to become too stiff though, this one is already pretty stiff as it is, wouldn't want it to be more. Any recommendations out there? maybe an adjustable suspension? anyone? Thanks all. |

I think it gives it a more aggressive look and personally I like it, especially with a nice wheel setup. You're always gonna sacrifice ride comfort, but if you do it right, you won't give up too much.
I say DO IT! If you care, KW Suspensions makes a coilover kit for your application. |
