    325iX drop hats?

    Does anyone know if there is a front drop hat available on the market that works with our iX's? I'd like to get rid of my sedan's UGLY reverse rake. I'm afraid springs may be my only option, but as this is my DD, I really don't want to screw with the car any more than I need to. Any other options out there to get the front end down maybe ~1/2"?

    Thanks!

      I knew someone would say that :D

      I actually like the height its at in the back. If the front matched I'd be fat and happy.

        Nobody? I'm thinking I may just remove my front spring pads, as I think that will give close to the drop I need (very minimal, maybe 1/2" AT MOST) to level the car out.

          not really possible. it works on regular e30s because the strut bearings are huge, the ix mounts flush with the strut tower.

          removing spring pads doesn't work either since the springs have to be compressed to fit in the housings (even H&Rs)
