Brisbane Suspension Workshops

I'm looking at getting either coilovers or springs for my 135i. Can anyone recommend any good workshops in Brisbane?

Also, I would appreciate it if anyone could share the costs of installation for their spring or coilover setup.

Either the H&R Sport Springs, KW V1's or KW V2's. I can't decide between the coilovers and I'm probably never going to track my car so it would be wiser to go with V1's.

Why does everyone like coilovers so much? Don't you have to realign the suspension (particularly camber) evertime you adjust the height?

In that case wouldn't it just be easier going with the Koni FSDs which have got loads of good feedback?

If I forked out the money for Koni's FSDs I'd rather spend that little bit extra and get the V1's which are the same as V2's without damper adjustments.

Ken Graham from "Accurate Suspension" (Brisbane) built the coil-overs, installed camber plates etc for my E30. Justin Wade from Midas Tingalpa put me onto him. I'd recommend him.
