Sarasota / Tampa lowering springs install

New to the area and Need some recommendations on a shop to install eibach pro kit springs on my 2018 F32.

From what I've read here on the board it should be around $500 including alignment to do.

I've contact two so far and they are just looking up what the "catalog" says for time, etc. and getting $1200 quotes

FWIW...

1 hour per corner is about right, with a proper lift. The rears will take less and the fronts a bit more. Depending on labor rates, this will put you in the $400 range. I absolutely would not pay more than $500.

Add an alignment on top for another $100-150.

This has been done in countless garages across America on jackstands (with a AutoZone spring compressor in my case). Point is, decide how much your time and effort is worth and go from there. Its not a rocket science type project by any means. I took my time and made it happen over a Saturday afternoon, early evening.

Thanks sspade

So $1200 is ridiculous then correct?

I wouldn't mind doing it myself as I try most other thing diy. Would be nice to have someone to do it with me but I could manage. Only reservation is it's our only vehicle so would hate to have extended downtime without transportation

Thanks! I'll check them out. Sold the 430i but now have a X3 Msport, so could use a good shop for other things in the future

Look up Rogue Works, he will come to your house to install. You'll need to take it to an alignment shop afterwards but that's easy.
