I went to Matt@Cambertoe for the job...and he was great....in and out with the install...
price was great and Matt was knowledgeable with his work...

My friend did mine. But if I was going to a shop I would goto MAC.

+1 for Matt at Camber-toe, does a very high quality alignment too. As far as Martino, that place is amazing, I would let Derek set my car on fire if he wanted to...

Im down in Nassau County right over by JFK. Its still a bit of a drive, provided you beat traffic, there are a lot of people on here who can vouch for my work

[capo1m]

sal at acm did mine and did a fantastic job

hahahahaha yeah id pass on the setting the car on fire part lol.. im glad to be getting a lot of feedback on different places though... im guessing most of you guys have a set of H&R sport springs.. anybody have pics after the drop? curious to see what a set of 18's would look like after the drop

at the moment waiting for a set to come in for a customer. Usually with H&Rs its going to leave pretty much no tire gap at all when done. Id recommend doing new shocks as well...Sport Package shocks dont ride all that great with them.

[runwild]

i dont have the sport package on my car would that be better or worse?

[LeMans335xiE90]

AKM FTMFW!!!! They did my H&R Sport spring install and then also my coil over install

I ran my H&R's on non-sport struts and the ride isnt bad!

I must have been in the bathroom when they taught that section at BMW factory training

i installed the h&r sports on my car 3 weeks ago by myself. pretty easy install. takes about an hr to do on the ground. i'd highly recommend buying new shocks or don't even bother installing em. i put mine on stock shocks and the ride quality is terrible. the roads in nyc suck, so theres a bump/ditch everywhere and the car just hops around like a bunny rabbit which is why i'll be taking them back off next week. i just can't deal with the bouncing and hard hits. on a nice smooth highway, the ride quality is good, but if you're driving regular streets or the grand central pkwy, then be prepared to do a lot of swerving and slowing down...

ahhh this is true... if you plan on going to NYC, ANY springs and struts are going to be a horrible bc the roads SUCK

i really dont drive towards the city but i mean some roads close by me arent much better.. im gonna give the springs a shot until i get some money for a coilover kit.. i was thinking Bilstein PSS9 would be the next route id go eventually, im not sure if anyones had any experience with that kit

also, any shop can do it for you for $150. if you're paying more than $150 for the install then you're getting ripped off. a friend of mine had his installed by nrgTech in deer park, and another had his installed by a regular mechanic shop and both charged $150 to install.
