You tease! Looking forward to shots of the finished product. Do you have a spring compressor? I have the air tools and may consider doing the work myself... care to do a write-up or DIY on your experience.
Best,

rears are done...
... almost done with one front. Not taking pics of the process. It makes a long projecy like this take too long, but it's exactly the same as the e90. I did a DIY on e90post, way back in the day. typing with mechanics gloves sucks, btw. :wink: |

I've considered it many times, but never bit the bullet. Maybe when I get some better garage space.

All Done!
Took a bit longer than expected because getting the struts out from the fender without scratching the paint was tedious.
I have not driven it yet, but I did remove the alignment pins up front and it gave me about 3/4 of a degree additional negative camber... enough that I could put a 10mm spacer up there now. Anyway, I'll SHADDAP and post pics. :smile: (yes, I know my wheels are filthy, but it's raining pretty hard outside) |

Looks great. Make sure you get a good 4 wheel alignment.
