The only way I am going to lower my car is on a set of FK Supersports or KonigSports. If I ever justify spending 1k+ all at one time (see I don't use credit cards yet, so when I buy something it is all cash on hand, makes spending 700+ dollars a little more difficult)


as for the sport suspension off a junkyard car, you might have better luck keeping an eye on the classifieds and waiting for someone that is upgrading to sell theirs cheap to someone.

 

well it honestly depends on the year
anybody else from the boise would back me up on this
the amount of snow we get is usually not a lot but when it does come
it usually comes down pretty good

so yeah i probably will just because i love my car to much to have something break on it
and im only 18 so ive got a lot of time to do fun stuff with my car

 

well i shouldnt say i "like" it
im just still used to my peice of crap honda i had before this
compared to the honda its like driving and sex ant the same time
never buy a honda they're all peices of crap to me!!!
but i do love the way my moms top of the line bmw x5 handles that thing
turns on a dime

 

IMO, no one cares how high you are if you're still slow. I'd put my money on some go fast upgrades. But like i said that's just me. I'm a fan of the sleeper thing too, so take what i say knowing that.

 

if i could do "go fast mods" i would
but i own a 12v
and that is not so mod friendly
but thank you for your input
i love sleepers to there the best when you roll up to a car
that looks like a total peice of junk
and it destroys you
its funny and i just give them props

 

when i save enough, i'm getting koni streets. please don't compare sedans to SUVs. it's demeaning to sedans lol

 

imho, the X3 is a much better car than the X5. The X3, the Germans had people come in to build this car. SPECIFICALLY this car. The X5 is hawt, do doubt. Anyway.. I went bilstein shocks and oem springs. It sits significantly lower, while providing a bit better handling. Once I get the springs on there, she should be damn good to go. My suggestion, if you're looking for just "ride height" then do the shocks. I think mines lowered about 2-2.5" all around. It has a classy look, yet still supporting the "lowered" status.

 

get Konis. i have them and love them, dont go with a spring and shock set-up. go with coilovers, in the winter you can raise it back up to stock ride height and in the summer you can drag ***.....

anyway, sometimes you can find a good deal on coilovers, i got mine for $500. just be patient and shop around they dont have to be brand new.

 

I got some tien springs that I would be willing to get rid of for pretty dam cheap, but youll have to wait for my FK's to go on next week.

 

what kind how low and how much
