Anyone know a good shop that can install bilstein struts with HR springs for me for a good price? I've got a higher then expected quote from my usual shop so I wanted to shop around and see what you guys have dealt with or recommend. Thanks!

Emil's tire in Brooklyn - inexpensive and they have Hunter equipment and road force (latter being irrelevant to spring/shock/strut installation, but good to know ).

Just for comparison, their Hunter alignment is 85 bucks for my car, which is super. Check 'em out, they're listed, just search Emil's Tire

They dont look too bad to replace on my 545i. I would think no more than an hour's labor per strut you should be charged.
