22 X4M best lowering option?

What is the best riding lowering option? Has anyone just lowered the front and left everything else the same ?

Do a search on MSS and you'll find a bunch of suspension discussion

I had eibach springs put on a couple weeks ago and am happy with those.

I’m sure the KW’s and MSS kit are both great. For me though, I will probably never adjust the height. I also don’t find the ride in my f97 to be harsh, or to need improvement, so I couldn’t justify the cost of the KW’s.

YMMV and this is just my opinion. You can’t go wrong with springs, KW’s, or MSS, it just depends on what exactly you are aiming for.

My idea was to lower the front only slightly and leave rear stock i want the best ride possible with a lower height the fronts too high
