H&R 1.2" lowering springs on x6m/x5m
Hey guys,
For everyone that installed the lowering springs on the x6m or x5m, did the back drop more than the front? I went with the 1.2" drop in the front and 1.0 in the back but after it was installed, visually the back looks lower than the front...is it suppose to be like that or did the shop mess up? I always thought the back should be higher than the front for that aggressive stance but i could be wrong. Also i find the ride a lot bouncier, is this going to get better once the springs have settled? thanks |

also is it hard to adjust the links to lift up the rear? the other H&R thread people are saying it takes about 10 min?

raised the car about 0.5" on the back and oh man, what a difference! no more bounciness...it rides just like oem. but the shop couldnt do front alignment because tie rods on both sides are seized. Is it an easy DIY if i get the parts ?
