Three options... from $ to $$$

ISTA+ - Lower it through programming. You can do it yourself with the software and knowledge or hire mrgicm and he can do it remotely for you and can adjust heights as needed. Cheapest option.

Ghost Links - Replace existing links with aftermarket and you can adjust your heights with the links. Website is https://www.ghostmotorsports.com/ghost-links

Lowering module - plug and play adapter. There are a few on the market and ship from Europe mostly. This is the more expensive option but has the most features. Website is -

Yeah I saw that. Shit sounds sick. Unfortunately I'm in cali and I dont know anyone here with talent like that. The Dinan exhaust is overkill too. Too $$ for just a muffler.

I can give you the recipe. Just find a fab shop to do it. Plenty in Cali I'm sure. It ran me roughly $1300 from front to back.

No, I didn't want to mess with Texas emissions. Been catless for 10 years and it was a hassle every year. Plus, my tuner told me to stay away from pushing the motor any harder than it is. I wish I was, I love the sound of the turbos and deeper exhaust sound.

My setup for suspension by software made by myself, if someone is interested in helping, I will provide advice at NO COST !!! (the requirements are ista's own diagnostic program and the enet cable + measure tape)

Sport and Comfort

My setup is -
  • F- 670mm and R- 660mm / Comfort
  • F- 645mm and 640mm / Sport

Strongly recommends that the sport is not for jumping on curbs or dynamic rides on road slowdowns


These are the initial values ​​after measuring on the wheels at the moment, a few different trials and settings from which the current one suits me best ...

Of course, we start the sessions with a full car scan of all possible errors. (Complete Identification)

If you don't understand this manual, don't go for it or you'll screw it up

Measuring the lower edge of the rim with the upper edge of the wheel arch, we give the measure in millimeters.

68cm equals 680mm + the value by which we want the car to lower 20mm = 700mm


According to your preferences and needs

Hello,

I'm looking for the Sport Mode position feature.
Where do I code it? My car is already lowered using ISTA+ but I want to edit the Sport mode position.

Can you help me?

Thx, sure.
They are BMW X5/6 Competition model 818M in 22.

Forged and ordered to fit the 7 with a little aggressive fitment.

F 22x10"
R 22x11,5"

The car had 305s in the rear in this pic but now has 315 for a little less stretch.

Thanks for sharing, wow great looking wheels! I love the concave look on these wheels.

Where they ordered from BMW to fit the 7-series, or aftermarket?

Whatever you added in ISTA to lower it. You'd subtract the same amount after taking measurements. Do you remember what those numbers were?

I'll see if I can grab my measurements. I'm back at stock height.
