Anyone have pics of these on a white x5?

Maybe I can meet up with D.R. and see if we can do a quick swap.

Over the weekend installed H&R 20mm Spacers in the rear. Applied a thin layer of anti seize on the spacers. Here are some before and after shots.

Before:







After:













After install of the rear spacers, did a test drive at various speeds. Did not notice any vibration or anything weird. For those who are going to ask me how come I didn’t install any spacers in the front, I chose not to because I didn’t not want to add any additional stress to the front steering and suspension since the front end does a lot more work than the rear.

As for lowering the vehicle I don’t plan to because I don’t think H&R and Eibach have design springs for the diesel weight. Reading everyone review about lowering their car and how it made the ride quality awful doesn’t appeal to me. I’m keeping it stock height.

Enjoy and have a wonderful day. On to the next mod!

Nice work! I just added H & R 15mm rear spacer over this weekend too. But I was wondering what is the anti seize about? Where did you apply it?
