My Ride: 2008 E60 BMW 535XI
Default Swift Springs for x drive?

as the title says!

I hear the H&R sport springs on X drive models truly suck. I'm not looking to slam my car but I do want to lower it for a more aesthetically pleasing ride height.

I wouldn't say suck... But I had a post in the summer of what I thought. The ride is pretty stiff.. But the car has less room to travel. I love the look more than I hate hitting dips and potholes. Of course I also went to 19" wheels...

I bought 08 535xi with H&R 29146 with stock shocks/struts. While I won't say the ride sucks. It rides pretty nice but with my combination it doesn't stiffen with travel so it easily hits the bump stops on dips in the road. I will either use stiffer shocks/struts or go with stock springs because our local streets are terrible.

We love swift springs. They're amazing in what they do. Ride quality is still great with improved handling. We use Swift on everything we can at our shop.
