Does that sound right , $410 for spring installation and alignment at wheel warehouse. This is just for installation, i have the springs already.

On another note, the guy I spoke with said that the e60 didn't need to get the fenders rolled to support 20's.

Thanks!

If you get higher profile than 285 and 245 it is true if you have only sports springs and non- M suspension.

If you have like me will 285 and 245 and sports (or M sports) suspension and lower with springs you need to roll fenders, mine will be done by professionals.

410 is very reasonable IF they are BMW certified techs. If not, and you know these guys are quite reputable then that is also a pretty good deal.

For comparison, we offer spring install for $450 by a BMW certified technician without alignment and we do them all day long with no complaints on price in Dallas, TX.

what do you mean lifetime @ firestone?

I found a place that does install for 200-250 and alignment for 60, and from what I heard they are reputable, The Wheel Supply..

thanks,
Steven

lifetime meaning as long as you have your car, you can get it aligned anytime if you feel the car is off, especially if you run over a pothole (1 time charge)

which Firestone is this? So I pay 170 once and they will align it anytime after that for free... nice
