I got a contact through a buddy of mine that used to work on BMW that can get either of these springs for a very reasonable price of 250-255, if anyone in socal wants to do a local pick up i would be able to buy some off him, i think this is a good price i can get up to 5 from him. Mine, being included, i will find out more information let me know, if interested. i wonder if the 2" race springs would be the same

I hear the changing of springs is a breeze, nothing but bolts removal and a spring compressor. Great ride and wheels momoney!! I'm unsure of going that low myself right now, but it looks so damn good, mmmm
Isht!! the things we worry about, i wonder if i will be sacrificing the ride too much with 2" drop?

I dropped my car around 11 and picked it up around 5 or 6. These poeple knew what they were doing as well so this is definitly not easy.
I also wouldnt do the Race drop, just do the normal sport. I was also thinking of doing the Race drop but saw that it looked way too low and impractical. The Sport suspension is perfect in my opinon

I think that price is the going price for the parts. I was quoted $480 for parts, labor, alignment, and tax which I thought was pretty fair...just haven't pulled trigger (or been able to pick a time to sneek by the wife)!
