Lowering with AST springs

billings86er · 02-08-2023, 07:53 PM

I have a M3CX coming any day now. I actually briefly owned a 22 M3CX and lowered car with AST springs and loved the look and ride. I got those installed at a shop in Michigan, small town BMW shop and a good price. I have been quoted outrageous (IMO) $$ to get them installed around the Houston area. Anyone have an opinion on how much getting lowering springs should be?

5-600 bucks is what I’m hearing in the DFW market.

I got quoted $950 for installation + alignment ($700 for labor + $250 for alignment) But a lot of people are saying that anywhere from $600-$700 is normal

I paid $550 in labor for springs installed and $100 for alignment.

Sounds about right with Vegas rates.
