H&R Springs w/out Self Leveling Rear Susp

[troymi]

I've searched and found numerous threads about H&R springs that were installed in X5Ms that bounced and switched to coilovers. There are also the self leveling link threads.

What I'm looking to do is put the 1.2" drop front/rear on and wonder if people can share impressions? Pics before and after? Ride quality? Any alignment specs? Abnormal tire wear?

Input appreciated.

Thanks, I saw Larry's garage. Oh and his X5! Really I was trying to prompt some more people to chime in on the ride quality with the springs front/rear. I've got a set on the way, and wondered if there were any points to ponder.

i had mine aligned twice. once right after install and again 1 week afterwards. needed adjustment both times since it settled. rear is at factory spec, and front has a little more camber since its non-adjustable. i have the eibachs, and they ride awesome. very pleased with them. i was debating between the 2

Basic question. Have 2012 X5M... If I decide to go the springs route.. Do I get the self levelling or non self leveling version? Thanks.
