Which shops have people gone to for installation? I'm trying to install my sway bars for a good price. Any recommendations?

basic installs like that, check out collision specialists in kent. talk to andrew, he runs the shop, shoot him cash instead of a check/card and he can slap it on for a REALLY good deal. let him know jonathan sent you over.

or.

if you're more up by kirkland, check out our shop that has now opened. Carrozzeria Carbon of exit 20 on i-405. email sales@carrozzeriacarbon.com and they can shoot you over a quick install quote.

Tell me about it.

I had to work on my X5 V8, replacing valley-pan gasket once (common problem on M62 engine), the injector rail electronics need to come out. If you use non-mechanic logic, you'll try to pop the 8 clips one at the time, way too much time if not impossible due to tight space. Talked to BMW tech on the forum, he says spray the clips with dry-silicone lube then use pry bar to pop the rail at once.

Short story, if you know the trick it's not that bad, the problem is how to find that info.
