Also, this job is slated as 8 hours of labor, so make sure you verify this as well. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help!

I just got the install guide for the perf suspension and it states 8 hrs for the work but that does include rear sway install. The rear sway isn't required /included for cars that have m sport suspension already fitted unfortunately it doesn't have a time estimate for that bit but shoud be a few hours less

Can we call your guy ? Its just easier because given that different dealers are quoting different prices, different service advisors are probably doing the same, its happened to me at VOB plenty of times.

I want to schedule something and get in there.

The guy that I worked with when i had my system installed doesn't work there anymore. He was on Casey's team, so you can start by asking for them.

Well... I was quoted $3500 for parts and labour in Aus. And that's in AUD - so it would be really expensive if it's US$4000 for just the install.

The 4k quote I recieve included parts. The 3300 qoute included everything but the springs which were like 110 a piece so another another 440.. or aprox 3740.

You should really make sure you're getting a good price on the set-up. Here is the link to the kit on United BMW (call them about the springs): http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...catalogid=6218

In total you shouldn't be paying more than $2900-$3000 for everything.

Yeah I had planned on ordering the suspension from Dan.
