how much are you guys paying etc?
i know the number will vary, but i am trying to get ballpark figure.
Also, what has been the preference?
Eibach pro kit vs. H&R SPORT?

I went with H&R Springs.
However I have called around and the majority of folks want to charge 8 hours of labor
So add that with an Alignment it is coming up to $700 +
I actually drove by a place the other day and they quoted me 4 hours, so I told them I would be there Thursday (today).
I just came back from there and they changed it to 8 hours.
I may have to keep them off for now.

Is there a difference between the 2008 528i (LCI) versus other older models non LCI?
