I will not be down until later AM, like 9 or so. Usually we go to the HH greg parking lit of the adjacent Cracker Barrel parking lot.

Did you get a thumbs up from a silver 135 on 400 yesterday?

That was me!

[Sixle]

Ill be there for the first time since November!

Do you guys know a good and reasonably priced shop that can do some suspension work for my 135i? I want to install new dampers and springs. Thanks!

Harrison Motorsports all the way! They give back to local track events and very supportive of bmwcca on top of being super knowledgeable and great people!

I respect them as well, but I can't justify spending $500+ for a spring and shock install. Any other reasonable places, this is a pretty simple job for a tuner shop.

Get a couple friends together and do it yourself? Install isn't really that bad. Luckily I had my brother's lift to do my coilover install. But my last two cars I removed and installed my coilovers/springs myself over a dozen times on each car with a couple jackstands and a jack. You can easily knock it out in a couple hours with the help of a friend

I don't have the right equipment for the job. I got a quote for $400 from a reputable shop, I guess that's the lowest I will find. $100 a corner doesn't seem too bad.

[Fifty3bags]

Yeah, $400 isn't bad. What tools don't you have?

[TwinTurboed]

Proper jackstands and I don't have space in my garage to work on the car. Also, the $400 ensures that I got a proper install, it might be worth the peace of mind.

What coilovers did you install btw? I am going with the Bilstein B12 strut/spring combo.

I have Megan Racing full-body coilovers. Comes with camber plates on the front asssemblies. I wish I would've held out for a set of Broadway Statics, I may switch to them later on or get stiffer swift springs.

Are the megan coilovers harsh for a daily ride? What made you choose them over the ST Coils? They seem to be around the same price.

I actually love the ride of the Megans, maybe I've just gotten used to them. The only difference I remember from OEM is height (ovbiously), they are stiffer, but just enough to notice bumps in the road, and there seems to be more road noise for some reason. I chose them over ST because they had camber plates, adjustable dampening, go lower than ST coils, and they were cheaper. I got mine for $800 shipped.

Damn, sounds like a sweet deal. I was asking because STs are usually the more popular choice around here.

They are. Most people hear Megan Racing and they stay away. But I talked to a couple people on here that have them and they liked the ride so I went for them

Where are you located?

I am going to have the shop do it, I don't have proper jack stands or the space. I am located in the Alpharetta area.

[TwinTurboed]

I don't want my car to handle like this anymore. Oh BMW, why build such a perfect little car and neuter its handling?

It was north bound between exit 11 and 12.

We should get a meet going, particularly for those of us outside the perimeter, or north metro area.

I may try and make it to the next C&O. It'll be closer to 9ish though. New wheels should be on by then
