12/15 setup, it's conservative as some members are running 15/20 setups. It comes down to personal taste for the look your trying to accomplish.

Yes. I agree 100%. I am running 12/18 😀
Yours look good. I thought it was 15/20.

Did the same set up on my X7 with the X5 22" wheels, spacers 11/15 with lowering links. I originally went 20/20 on spacers for killer aggressive look.

The instructions from RG say you need to extend the front links to 24mm and shorten the rear links to 16mm to achieve this drop. Since they are adjustable you could likely have a more aggressive drop if you want. I would suggest talking w Ben at RG, he would be able to give you the best insight.

Do you know what the actual drop in inches is when using the RG recommended lengths, i.e., stock comfort height to new/adjusted height?

With your recommend measurements on your installation instructions will that be the new loading height?. I want it to look like this when I’m driving at all times in sport mode.

With RG’s recommended measurements on the link, your new lowest ride height will be the factory load height.

Some noob questions 😊

Is this mod for air suspension only?

How does it work and does it affect ride?

Yes, air suspension only. From what I know, no one complains about any rude quality change.
