Looking good boys. Didn't think I'd like the drop but it looks phenomenal!

It looks even better in person, J. And when you're driving next to him, it looks insane! I was more concerned about the ride quality with and without Sport Mode on. Car handles just like stock. It's amazing.

The drop on Kerry's look nice if you are going for a more "car" or crossover look, I think. I think an X6 for sure would look great with a drop but I am not so sure about the X5.

I might be in the minority here, but I still like your stock height better, C. That means you'll lower if for sure!

I hear ya, D. I was on the fence too, but after everything we've done to the trucks and the whole theme of the truck, lowering it is necessary at this point. The nice part is, the rear is adjustable (0 - 2"). PP is as 1.5". I'm probably going to do .5 - 1" in the rear.

Also, come winter, I can raise it back up. The front only drops an inch, so it's not that bad.

I need to get my wife her "Push" present ASAP. If she catches wind of these purchases first, I'm D-E-A-D.

Wow, the X5s look terrific.

I too like the lowered look of Kerry's as well.
