    I love the amount of work and effort you're spending for your car. If I may ask, do you have a stainless steel braking line installed? Because with Carbon-Ceramic brakes you'd need that tiny extra firm bite.

    As for the job, you'd have to call couple or few garages and ask them for an estimate since you already have the parts.

    Good luck (Y)

        Nice mods.

        Enjoy in good health.

        When you get the lowering springs installed, make sure you replace all the nuts and bolts. Also, make sure that everything is torqued to spec as per the TIS.

              There is a shop in Dubai called Kinetechnik in Al Quoz that does these things for Bimmers. I don't have their contact details though.

                If you install lower springs, your shocks will die very soon. Then you will probably have to get the complete coilovers.

                This is the advice Bruno gave me and I am forwarding it to you. I didn't take Bruno's advice. I know now that I should have.

                Swapping springs and coilovers does take a few hours and is costly.

                  it should not cost more than 6 hours of labor, most of which are directed towards the lowering springs.

                    Don't forget to get the alignment done after like a 1000 kms of driving on the new springs. It is more than likely that you will not be able to get the front camber within spec.

                      Thanks hasan/Bruno , however I have EDC ( Electronic dampening Control ) and I did an intensive research online on Lowering kits for my car ( sport plus / EDC ) & whether it will harm the EDC Magnetorheological dampers or not still undetermined as personally I have not seen any thread anywhere yet of anybody having an EDC issue (excessive wear, malfunction, unstable ride/handling) with either the H&R or the Eibach springs since 2008 .

                      I went with H&R ( Sport Plus ) kit from Turner MS which I decided to install my self ( in my parents house garage :) ) and I believe that its a fairly easy job , shouldn't take more than 3 hrs for all four sides .....wish me luck :)

                        The springs will not interfer with the EDC. Its just that the shocks will wear out faster.

                        It will definitely take more than 3 hours. Just make sure that you torque everything to spec. The self lockinh hex nuts sometimes do not lock properly if reused. Also, the main bolt at the bottom of the rear shock is stretchable and cannot be used again. Be careful not to over torque it, it might snap.

                        Good Luck!
