Did you go with the Eibach's?

What are your initial impressions on the ride? Does it feel bouncy at all?

thanks guys I went with the H&R front springs and rear links to lower the rear bags. The ride is still the same I was expecting it to be a little bouncy but no its ok.
Gone for the vossen vfs2 in grey 10.5Jx22 front 12jx22 rear just trying to decide tyres
285/35/22 front 315/30/22 rear
or
295/30/22 front 335/25/22 rear I was after pics of peoples cars with both tyre set up

the 295/30 335/25 would be closer to the proper diameter

Wow these x5 wheel arches can sure hide 21 inch rims so they don't look big at all. Or is it because black rim color disappears kinda? Not sure. Hopefully 22's will be more like it

Ops, you are right! I confused it with oem 21 inch rims if I'm not mistaken 612m style that looks similar? I've looked at too much rims recently and it's a mess in my head

I think it's the wheel color that makes the 20s look so small. I have the 469m in gloss black and they just look tiny. I have brushed 22s on the way because I was worried black 22s would still look small.

Yep, the darker the color, the more they disappear into the wheel wells.
