Exclamation My Eibach PRO-LIFT-KIT has arrived from Germany!

Since picking up the car, I've been looking for a way to lift it. Finally, Eibach Germany released a product allowing us to do it. Info in the USA was scarce and even Eibach USA said they would not be making a lift kit, but thanks to forum member mini_cal & IslandTimes in this thread (http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1100457) the details were found, I got in touch with Eibach Germany, and the springs were ordered!

I am the first US X1 to install these that we are aware of, and there are some questions as to compatibility & amount of lift compared to the Euro spec cars. Either way I bit the bullet and went for it, hoping for the best. I will be installing in the coming days and will post results, with before and after photos. After that, I will also be upsizing my tires hoping the new clearance will allow for this. For more detail on the overall build, please take a look at my build thread here -> http://e84.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...php?p=19551757






Stay tuned! Could this be the first lifted X1 in the USA?
