Hey man you got a midsize luxury sedan. Dropping the car is 400bucks. Were not talking civics here daddy. I vote to ban him from the internet.

Easy xexyus. That's a bit harsh.
rjcastr,
I respect the fact that you're upfront about your financial situation and not like some who pretend to be loaded.
That said, there is a point to the comment from xexyus. It's great that you were able to save for the car but you should know that accessorizing it ain't cheap and trying to go the cheapest route will ultimately cheapen the look of your precious car. Just be patient and do things right and avoid cutting corners to save money.
Now back to your install issue. I got my coilovers installed for about $350 so you might be able to find a pro shop that will install your springs for a bit less. I hope that's not outside your budget.

Take it to EuroRev talk to Tim here's their website www.EuroRev.com. Like EuroCarfan said fixing up the E60 isn't cheap just take your time and do it right.

Thats why i was shocked that you would say something like that
ICEMAN im knew to the E60 forums, i come from and E46fanatics forum, we like to work on our own cars, if you go to that forum you will see DIY is very common and quite the thing to do. I guess im being silly thinking that i could do the same to my E60.

That reply was for xexyus for saying he was kidding about him having you kick off the internet
I didn't mean I was shocked that you would DIY on the E60's. sorry for the misunderstanding
