Lowering X6 advice
Lowering X6 advice
I will be collecting the X6 next week and the missus told me how funny the gap in the arches looks from her height which is below me at 6'6". I need to get it lowered, has anyone done this on here and can recommend springs that will make the car corner more flat but not firm up the ride any more. H&R perhaps ? Also please recommend spacers size for the existing BMW 20"s' to make it look like it is sitting properly on them.
If you can recommend someone good near East London to fit them, then even better
Cheers
Steve

Hi
if your after info on lowering your X6 try a pm or a search for west side as he did a load to his one even if he doesn't reply you should, be able to pick up the details from his build posts.
If your after wok being done it would be worth contacting Jason at Chiptune as he does bmw as a specialist and does a lot of work for member of the forum.

Re: Lowering X6 advice
Surely this defeats the point of the x6? Think it would look bad lowered personally. Lord it up high I say

Re: Lowering X6 advice
You could always buy a 5 series GT. That's a slammed version of the X6 !!
Re: Lowering X6 advice
) I don't like them GT's, and you are right. I don't want to slam it, just 1 inch more would do f&r.
Re: Lowering X6 advice
Does it have air suspension at the rear or springs?
Kav (Westside) used H&R springs and it looked spot on. Not too low at all.

Re: Lowering X6 advice
hi put some 21 or 22" on that will lower the car !
Re: Lowering X6 advice
It has springs Raj.
I think bigger wheels will make the ride harder, so discounted that idea, besides current tyres are almost new.. Would look good though.

A nice set of Eibach or H&R springs all round will do the job nicely without killing the height or ride.
