Does $400-$500 sound right to install lowering springs...
In LA I paid ~$180-$200 for install. I will will check with Gary to make sure he understands its just an install.
Or are prices in DC that much higher?

It's like most of shops outside of cali are charging by hourly rate rather than a fixed price.

Also try Road Race Technology. They specialize in only BMWs and have their own BMW race car's etc that they've built. Great shop and their located in the sterling/dulles area
Where in McLean are you located? You should come out to some local meets. I live in Great Falls and work across the street from Tysons Mall

I think I have seen your M5 drive down Jones Branch. Awesome color btw... plus its an M5.
I work next to the Hilton McLean and live in McLean as well.
Will be on the lookout for the next meet. Given I am new to the area, would be great to meet other car fanatics..
Thanks
