Hej Patrik
they'll use computer to slam the rear. I'm having it done next monday by BMW V?ster?s. They quoted roughly 1000 SEK for the job and another 3500 to swap the springs in the front and since they are quotes I expect it to be the maximum. Seems a little expensive but I guess it's more work than just replacing the entire shock/spring assembly. Money well spent anyway to get rid of the current X5 look
