Nope, I haven't yet. I need to though as I notice quite a bit of shake to the steering wheel now. Very noticable. Not sure if it's just from an aftermarket suspension or that I need an alignment. It doesn't bother me, just different from the super smooth beforehand.

If you have any ideas let me know and I'll go with you!

O HELLA BMW · 04-26-2011, 10:18 PM

well i havent gotten my kw vs coils installed yet, but when i had my G35 coupe i was lowered on coils also but shops couldnt align my car since the tires and fenders were so close together they couldnt put the machine thing on each wheel b/c it would damage the fenders...................

so im guessing me and you have to find a shop that has a built into the ground alignment machine

TwinTurboXI · 04-29-2011, 10:25 AM

Anyone going to the NRA show this weekend?

O HELLA BMW · 04-29-2011, 10:59 AM

^i think everyones going to teh cars and coffee meet 2morrow at the starbucks near ikea

SSBMW · 04-29-2011, 12:03 PM

Hey guys, Steve here. Got a couple questions. First, would anyone in the Pgh area be interested in a set of unused H&R sport springs for a e92 328? I'm sure you can use them on the e90 but don't quote me on that. I'm looking for $160. I never got around to installing them and I don't have the money right now for the Koni Yellows I was going to purchase for them. They are not in the box since I threw that away when I recieved them from Brad and BavX. Second, does anyone here do fender rolling? Looking to add spacers in the rear and my current wheels ( Miro 111's 19x9.5 et33) wont allow me to go out to much further before rubbing. I would be willing to meet up with someone who has a roller. Thanks

I'm pretty sure all Nissan dealerships that chose to sell GTR's had to purchase and install in ground alignment machines at a cost close to $100,000 (at least that's what I was told.)

Maybe call a few dealers and see if they would do your car?

Goettler_Boost · 05-02-2011, 10:26 AM

O HELLA BMW · 05-02-2011, 02:20 PM

welcome!

i saw a blue X6M today at sheets in monroeville! it was so nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i gave him a thumbs up and he returned with a wave haha. it was a older dude but man that x6m is sharp

328skidpad · 05-03-2011, 03:02 PM

Didnt sync my phone and forgot

Did you guys meet up for the Fast 5 movie last week?

if so any pics?

SpmnE9zero · 05-03-2011, 03:05 PM

Hello Bip.

If so I didnt go.... lets do it!!!!! No ricers in the parking lot now to mess with cars, they prolly all went to see it already.

328skidpad · 05-04-2011, 11:14 AM

hey shane
I couldnt help and and saw the movie on sunday at 2pm, very good movie and "top seller" but there were only 8 people at the cranberry cinema

Did anyone find a reputable shop yet will install struts/springs for a decent price?

everywhere i got now I see bmws but still no foreign car garage.

Foreign Traffic is the only one I know but charges ridiculous prices for installs. Suppose they have a right because they are qualified to fix ferrari's and higher end cars...

O HELLA BMW · 05-04-2011, 11:20 AM

If u don't mind driving I'd go to akmotorwerks in NJ , that's where I'll be going to get my coils and lots of other goodies installed

328skidpad · 05-04-2011, 01:49 PM

Actually AK was my first choice especially because of Shanes contact but was just wondering as my spring summer schedule gets hectic and its hard to forecast a open free weekend.
but thanks for the the lead.

Figure NJ is only 4 hrs away

O HELLA BMW · 05-04-2011, 02:07 PM

yea I plan on going one of these Sundays , I just have to wait on a few more parts to come in

ianthegreat · 05-04-2011, 03:55 PM

For my coils, I went to Domination Auto here in Pittsburgh. Carnegie exit. I factored in price of install + gas + mileage + time. Wish we had someone like AK here in Pittsburgh. However, there are reputable local shops that don't frequent the forums. Just have to search for them
