C5 x7 Lowering suspension

Post by renagade »

Hi Guy's
I have the c5 x7 on steel springs and was wondering if any one had lowered their car and if so would they recommend it . I alway's thought that the c5 x7 stood a little to tall.

To tall? I guess you have some pretty smooth roads in Donny. If it was any lower it wouldn't negotiate the speed humps round here.

Have to agree - with 4 bods in my C5 it easily grounds out the mudguards when I take it over rough ground. Perhaps a cheap and easy way to lower yours is to put a dozen bags of sand in it :rofl2:
Sadly no longer a C5 owner :(
