Shop for installing springs and for an alignment

lalessi526 · 07-17-2012, 05:00 PM

Does anyone know of a good shop in NJ where I could get lowering springs installed? I just bought a set and also need an alignment so figured I could get it done in one shot.

Also just want to triple check that I can put lowering springs on my e90 335 with having to get new shocks and struts?

Any help and feedback would be great!

Thanks

The problem with your proposed lowering spring setup is that the springs are too stiff for the shocks. You'll wear your shocks out in a matter of months. I see you have a 2007 335i ... how many miles? It would make more financial sense to do shocks and springs together up front.

Also what springs did you buy?

I have a little over 58000 miles and I bought the Eibach Pro Kit

You think I should swap out the shocks as will and struts? I am new to this and only had my car for a year.

I also do not have the oem sports suspension if that makes a difference
