[thirstybimmer]

I have a 2011 328i xdrive coupe and was thinking of lowering it any recommendations?? I wouldnt wat a way too stiff ride and is there anything else I 'd need to get done before going this route,? i like the other bmw look when lowered!! thanks i appreciate it

Bad idea to lower an x-drive car. They are already lower anyways.

I highly recommend Bilstein B6 HD struts and shocks. They transformed the ride and handling of my 2006 325xi Wagon.

Seems like you are degrading it, not upgrading:)

Replace the OEM shocks with Koni FSD, keep original springs, and maybe add adapter for rough-roads to the rear springs. The rough-road adapter will raise the rear by about 15mm and give you a nice even gap all around the rear wheels. It's a 4WD car not a bottom scraper. You want to be able to drive over snow in the winter not bottom out on it.
