Any body recommend a shop that has done a m3 suspension conversion.
Would like to go to someone that has already done a few.

Thanks

It's a big state, 220 miles from San Diego to Santa Barbara. Probably well worth the time, though.

Seeing as the essentially pioneered the swap, I'd say so.

What part of the m3 suspension do you want to install??? It all bolts up to the 135i no magic to it, unless you're only swapping some of the parts not all...

Like you said, its not rocket science and its not building a space shuttle. If the OP is 200 miles away it would be nuts to drive that far for suspension work and there are likely many competent, qualified shops that could easily handle the work well within a 200 mile range.

If you want to fit ALL the bits of the M3 suspension, there will be some work ... I went on HP Autowerks website advises for reflecting/ordering the stuff I needed for my M chassis conversion

I was hoping for a recommendation in San Diego, from someone that has had it done.
Installing all the front bits and the rear pieces including subframe bushings.
HP Autowerks is too far and it's a 2 day install so overnight stay not helping with saving money.
