Hey guys, my local tuner shop that did my eibach install snagged up a sick GTR and threw some iforged wheels and a KW V3 suspension setup.
Very tight car. Their shop is really clean too. Lots of EVO's M3's, WRX's and now my e60 is among them. Anyone in or around Tacoma should check them out, their prices are very competitive and they are straight up.

Yeah I am pretty sure because thats where the Nissan dealer was where they bought it.
I got my springs from Trinity but Illtech did the install for $300. They only did it for that price because I am doing a full setup up through them soon. If you buy your springs from them then yeah they will only charge you $300, if you dont, then expect almost $600.
I also found that price is VERY consistent with the other shops around in washington. I called ALL of them too. The only other one that would charge $200-$300 was World One but they arent taking anymore installs since they are closing down their service side soon.
Most shops around here will straight up rape you because bmw modding is not very large up here and shops lump the e60 in with mercs, porsche, and other high end cars for shop prices.

Yeah i ahve only been to a couple places around bellevue and no one will install anything unless i buy the springs from them...best price i have got so far is 750 for springs and install...i might just try to find some used 20s...seems like a better deal
I would hit up illtech and talk to drew, tell him that eric with the blue e60 referred you. Im sure he would hook you up since you are a first time customer and they want to attract bmw like clientel in their shop
illtech would prob do the install for $550 including springs, but call drew and find out
