Lowering Springs Suggestion

12v_dub · 07-27-2018, 07:52 AM

Hi Guys,
I would like to lower my X3 just a little and add some spacers for more flush look of the wheels. I see there is an H&R Springs with about 1.4" of a drop on the front.
Do you guys have any other recommendations on springs? Is the ride going to remain close to factory by keeping the same oem struts?

I put H&R springs on one of my Q5's. I left everything else stock and the compression and rebound still seemed pretty close with the 1.2" drop it provided. The ride was noticeably stiffer and harsher but I liked it. Bodyroll and cornering was improved.

Get the H&R springs from EAS. Ride quality will be slightly stiffer while reducing body roll. All in all it’ll be an improvement over factory ride height and handling.
