Z4 - Cost to fit new springs ?
Hi all
Have had a couple of quotes of between £350 and £400 to have someone replace all 4 springs (labour only and inc VAT) as I want to get either a set of Eibach or H&R's on there before getting some 19" staggered CSL reps such as the AXE CS Lites. They then also recommend a full 4 wheel alignment at c£100, so all in with the springs c£150 its a c£600-650 bill !!!!
Are those fitting costs reasonable, they seem high to me but it's been a while since I last had this done to a car.
Its a 3.0 Si Auto with the M Sport suspension if that matters...
Thanks in advance for any help.

PS I am a mechanical numpty so suggesting I do this myself is a no no ....

Your welcome to pop over to me in Basingstoke and we'll both do them, as for the alignment I've been using a place just outside Basingstoke £36 but they wont do camber adjustment.
Give me a message when you get your springs.

Wow, thats a serious generous offer, I have to warn you though I have no skills and no tools !!! If you have both then happy to accept the help but also will insist on some reward, will order the springs then ping you.

Depends if they are a like for like replacement. If they are it should make no difference.
