Angry HELP, need a shop in CT that would be willing to lowering the rear air suspension

I just got my Eibach lowering springs in today. I was calling around to see if anyone would be willing to lower the rear via the DIS. Watertown BMW said he WON'T do it. New Country (Hartford)BMW said that it will cause major problems with warning lights. And a local BMW shop said that it should be done at a dealer only! So I'm stuck. Anyone in CT, NY, MA have this done. I really need to have it lowered once I install my 22" there will be a big wheel gap, I hate that! Hope someone could help me out. I'm willing to travel alittle, not to far because my truck will be lowered in the front more then the rear on the way there and I don't know how safe that would be. Thanks Rob

Check these: http://www.dinancars.com/dealers.asp?state=New%20York
Hopefully since they are Dinan authorized dealers and are used to applying custom settings for customers, They may be able to help you!!!

Hey bro, please let me know if you find anyone. I want to buy springs, but I want to find a dealer in CT that would do it first.

I did get ahold of Greenwich BMW. They said that would be willing to lower via the computer. But they are not liable for any warning lights, etc... Give them a call, Goodluck!!

I'm not lowering it through the dealer. I bought the H&R springs that come with additional part to lower the rear.

I thought the H&R still had to be lowered through the DIS system?

If you don't mind me asking, where are you going to get them installed?

already done. They were easy to install, I didn't even have to remove the wheels. I just jacked up the truck and stuck my hand between the spokes of my 22's! Just 2- 7mm nuts on each side and presto the rear is lowered.
