Suspension upgrade

[StefanAndov]

I drive a 2016 BMW X5 35i non M-Sport and I wanted to lower it so I got the H&R springs ( the blue ones not the VTF ones), and the lowering links since it has the air suspension in the back but the ride quality sucks. I did change the shocks and the whole assembly as well as the control arms and the tie rods and I did an alignment but the car feels very bouncy, I can feel every bump, I feel vibration on the gas pedal, floor and steering while driving 60mph-80mph and I am not happy with it.
I am looking at swapping the suspension to BC coilovers (I do not have money for the KW V3). Does anyone have experience with them or does anyone have any other suggestions?

I did Eibach springs on all 4 corners (no air suspension) and it rides smooth as stock

I was looking at the Eibach springs but they dont lower the car as much as I would like to

Then I would save up over time and get KW V3

unfortunately it sounds like many folks aren't happy with the H&R lowering springs or VTF. they simply lower the f15 beyond what the oem shocks can perform at.

overall consensus is to save up for BC or KW coilovers if you want to go lower than eibachs or the dinan kit

Solid advice right here StefanAndov

Thank you, I'm gonna take a look at the options and report back. It would be the nice to get the KWs but they are too expensive. Anyone selling used ones?

There’s someone selling a new set for $2200 in the member classifieds.
