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
hey im assuming your pics you have onthe thread where you are selling your wheels is with your eibach springs? do you ever rub? what tires do you have?

does illtech provide warranty on the springs and install?

thanks

general exclaims

i never rub

yes they warranty everything they do but if its a customer supplied part they dont warranty that. If you get it through them then they warranty product and install.

no i didnt get the refinish quote from them.

Sprints are probably my favorite IForged wheel design.

You guys are getting raped on install prices up in WA.

I think so too, they look the best on such a variety of cars

and yes we are getting it in the rear on the prices. Believe me I know. The only way to get a shop to cut you a good deal for install is to buy the product through them. Illtech is getting me the KW V2 for $1830 and doing the install at $475 and that was the BEST price I could find.

If I buy the parts online, the shops go by this online dealer install system from BMW that tells them how long they install "should" take and they charge by that, which in this case is $700 just for the install.

Any online savings is negated by the huge overcharge in labor so I might as well get my stuff local and make good relationships like I have. Sucks but its the nature of where I live.
