Would you let the dealer install aftermarket springs?

I'm planning on purchasing eibachs for my 325 (no sport package) and was wondering if anybody had aftermarket springs installed at the dealers. If it's not a bright idea, can anyone recomend a shop in Southern California that is reputable.

-Thanks Randy

If the dealer said yes, i would let them do it because they they know the cars the best. although this might be an issue when it comes to factory warranty so ask them if that will be a problem if not have them do it it might be costly too at the dealer but you get what u pay for and ull get a nice job done!

why pay so much for the dealer to install them, they still wont honor your suspension warranty. here in los angeles, have a bunch of places. dont know san diego so much. d2technik in alhambra ca, f1motorsports, euroRev <--i think agioE90 got his car done there.

Yeah, it really isn't that hard... All you need is a spring-compressor from Autozone (they'll lend it to you) and a good torque-wrench when you are done.

I got a package deal when I got my springs with installation. Give them a call.... ask for Chris Young. They're good people. Tell him Mac sent you. I've dealt with them and have received quality service each and every time. :rocks:

just find a good shop that does some work on bmw's. the dealer will charge you an arm and a leg, and prob question why you want to do it in the first place.
