I never did anything with the anti-roll bars... I think the OEM sport suspension ARBs are pretty stout. For what it is (a big, heavy, tall SUV), the handling of my X5 still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

Nice! Heard nothing but good things about the X3/X5.
I lowered my car about 1" and had my front camber in the "red" on one side, and "yellow" on the other. I picked up some adjustable upper control arms, and dialed the camber back from -1.8 deg to -1.4 deg. Like you said, the difference is *very* apparent, before I fixed it the car felt spring loaded side to side, like it wanted to pounce into corners - very cool.
I sort of regret that decision to go back into green, I suppose my tires and wallet do not, haha!
