What is that? and do I need this to lowering the X5?

Hi everybody,

I have a E70 X5 without the self-leveling.

I would like to know what is that? And do I need this things to lowering my X5 or not?

Are they for only the self-leveling model only? or I must have this on the non-self-leveling too?

It's a picture from somebody who had lowering his X5:



Thank you.

That's the lowering links for the rear suspension.

yes they are for self-leveling model only, they are for cars with airbags in the rear. btw, please search or simply flip through the instruction manual before posting, there is plenty of information on this topic

Ohh okay, so I don't need these "lowering link" for the rear suspension if I don't have the self-leveling, right?

...that is correct... You don't need them.

You will buy a lowering kit with 4 springs. People with the self leveling air bags in back buy lowering kits and get 2 springs and the adjustable links.
