How much did you pay for Lowering Springs Install???

Looking at doing the eibach lowering springs on my 01 w/ no air.

The springs are around $260 but i've been having problems finding someone to install for cheep.

Most prices im gettting are around $500-$600 for the install of the springs

What did you guys pay? Anybody in the denver/minneapolis area?

Thanks

Is this for 2 or 4 springs? I'm assuming 4 since you say you don't have air suspension...

If it's 4, that doesn't seem too out of line to me. Something like that must list at about 4 hours labor I would think....

I have a 00 X5 with air suspension. I bought Eibach springs for the front. I have an aftermarket repair facility that will lower the rear by computer this Wednesday. Does anyone recommend rear-end links rather than computer adjustment?

I'd recommend the end links instead. That way you can always take them out yourself.
