rubbing or bottoming out after lowering?
Im just curious as to whether anybody has had problems with their X6 rubbing or bottom out at all after installing lowering springs?

I have the Dinan drop and have never experienced that issue. It is, afterall, only a .75" drop, but the look is still agressive with excellent performance. If you're at all concerned about bottoming out, I would go for a conservative drop, which will also preserve the quality of the ride.

Mine did when I first lowered it. Had the rear lowering link with the h&r springs. Rear was tucked! Then drove like a low rider with no shocks. So I lifted it back up quite a bit. The front isn't adjustable though but the rear kinda brings it down with it

I think im gonna bite the bullet and just get them installed, we'll see how it goes. Theres a lot of gap in the front so the 1.2 should be fine. In the rear since its links I can play with the drop.

So i got it lowered today, turned out pretty nice I must say. I got about a 2" gap all aroun now. Initially the back was almost tucked so I had them raise it back up somewhat. I'll post some pics tomorrow of the end result. The ride doesnt seem much different from stock. I drove about 20 minutes on the highway at a pretty high rate of speed and it felt the same as stock.

The car looks more aggressive now, right? It really looks a lot better after lowered, especially from the back. Give it a few more weeks to settle. |
