I am going to be using the car as a daily driver, and for my weekend sports car kicks, I will driving my Porsche Cayman S.

Give it a month and you'll want to upgrade your suspension. Better get in now while the deal is around!

Dan let me know if you have 1 or 2 of the perf suspensions already in stock, if so I'll probably just go for the 1260 shipped deal and not wait on these guys... my lease time is running and I want my money's worth of this setup!

yes, ChrisM135i hopefully you're our new #5!

mecheng03 · 06-21-2009, 12:08 PM

I know this has been asked but I didn't see a definite answer:
What are the avg install prices/hours? What do I get with the kit if I have a May08 135i sport pkg? VIN: VF23183

Why are the springs separate from the kit? I ask b/c my local dealer has the pef susp (PN: 33 50 0 444 831) at $1,167.00 and a $926 install with no mention of the springs.

I've got 3 orders in... times-a-runnin out!

Add1ct · 06-22-2009, 03:27 PM

cmon guys, I want my suspension

ChrisM135i · 06-23-2009, 12:08 PM

Ok I am really interested. I need to know the exact parts that are included in the entire package. Does the warranty remain intact if a third party installs it? Jlevi can install it for a small fraction of what my stealership wants.

Add1ct · 06-24-2009, 10:51 PM

includes the springs, shocks/struts, front sway bar, and if you do not have a sport pack (128i only) then the rear bar as well, and from what I have read the parts are warranted but the labor is not- so if something goes wrong with them then BMW replaces the part and the you'd have to have the labor done as I understand it- realistically- you could probably say my dealer where I bought it did this, or one from a different area and then make your dealer honor the warranty, and if they are at all customer service oriented they might well do that

Zoominrex · 06-25-2009, 12:41 AM

Ok I'm in. Is it too late?

Zoominrex · 06-25-2009, 01:13 AM

oh...not jlevi btw...it was sonicMS

radiantm3 · 06-25-2009, 02:21 AM

I got mine installed yesterday and am extremely happy with them. The ride is only slightly stiffer than stock in everyday driving, but the car becomes so much more composed when cornering hard. That floaty feeling is gone and I have much more confidence in the car. The car is so much more composed when taking off from a stop as well. I totally agree with what others have said about this setup. This is how the car should have came from the factory.

no you would be the 4th order- you have to go to the site and order it and note the group buy and your username, and I think Dan said he'd let us go with 4, because, radiantm3 got his before the GB and just paid the june special, not 100% on this but I thought Dan had said it,

-Dan, is that true? are we good to go?

Where did you get it installed in San Jose might I ask? Stevens Creek? I might just do mine at SonicMS. They've been great and reasonably priced.

don't we need to add all the items individually then including each spring F/R and shock plus the sway bar?

Add1ct · 06-25-2009, 11:46 AM

all I added were the springs (4 of them) and the suspension kit (includes shocks/struts, bars and mounting bits)

Everything comes in the box all packed up:

You feel more bumps in the road, but in a good way. Just PM me sometime and I can take you for a ride or let you drive (assuming you can drive a manual).
