Cost to adjust ride height?

On my wifes 2015 x5 she said she wishes the ride height was just a little lower so she can get in easier. (We have the 3rd row so we have the rear air suspention also.)

Would it be very expensive to lower it a little? What range would you expect?

Thanks!

Basically anything you do to make it lower is going to negatively affect the ride quality, so keep that in mind. You could swap the front springs for a few hundred bucks and trick the rear into sitting lower by modifying the height sensor arms.

I have some rear links for sale if you decide to go that route.

Welcome to the forum.
Using search is your friend for a lot of info.

Since this is for your wife, I do not recommend the H&R springs, she might not like the ride.
Look for the Eibach springs, doesn't lower as much, but people seem to prefer the ride quality. You might not be able to get the kit with lowering links here in the US, at least they were not available in the past.
Check with our resident togoto guy for parts, Ben (r33_RGSport) and check out the link, from our forum, below:
