welcome to the sway bar club =)
which settings did you have it at? i got the H&R which i believe is the same as ACS. for me i have stiffest in the front, and medium in the rear.
$300 is a great deal, i bought mine new for more than that...
yes, don't pay more than $100 for install, any mechanic can do it and it takes less than 1 hour, don't let the high end shop quote you like 2 hrs of labor...

One place quoted me 275 to install!!!!!...when I stopped choking I decided to be a little more patient and waited for my friend to fit me in. If you are in the north jersey area and want them put in I might be able to get you a better install price...PM me.
I actually might look to getting some m-tech kits painted through another contact but I want to be the guinea pig before offering them for sale.
can't let quad_m and detto have all the fun....hahaha

My Ride: 2008 528i: Silver/Black/Light Wood, ZPP, ZCW, STEP, Comfort Seat, Heated Rear Seat, PDC, Xenon, Nav, iPod. 35% ceramic tint, VentureShield clear bra.
I remember a Roundel tech article saying something about the settings for anti roll bars, and I vaguely remember that either the front or rear shouldn't be at a stiff setting. Does anyone recall this, or understand what settings are appropriate?
Thanks.
Thanks.
