Local coilover installs?

JeffL · 02-17-2009, 09:49 AM

anyone know any shops locally with good rates?

GGreek5 · 02-17-2009, 11:06 AM

I had mine done at Bavarian Performance Group in Winchester/Woburn. Cant remember the price though.

There's one in watertown called bazarian motors that i have had some maintenance work done at. he deals mostly with bmws. theres also state auto spring (or something like that) in chelsea and their specialty is suspension work get some quotes from them im sure they install even if you dont buy parts from them.

hms in peabody?
turner motorsports?

GGreek5 · 02-17-2009, 11:24 AM

Turner is great. I brought my e36 M3 only to them.
I believe BPG might be a bit cheaper.

JeffL · 02-17-2009, 11:57 AM

Turner wants $600 with an alignment seems kinda high to me?

east coast european in nh works mostly with audis but i know the owners and they are great guys and have done some work on another persons 335i. last time i asked them(about a year and a half ago) i think they usually charge around $115 per corner and then an alignment. try calling them and ask for mark gagne.

btrav1226 · 02-23-2009, 07:48 PM

any updates? i want to get coilovers too but i dont know about install prices. also to anyone on here with them,have you experienced clunking noises? i ve read alot about people having noise issues with a bunch of different types of coilovers.

JeffL · 02-23-2009, 07:59 PM

going to have Turner do it. Their shop is flawless and had xi H&R coilovers in stock last I called, if not in stock they can get them in a couple of days.

My KW V3 didn't have clunking noise, but the UUC sway bars squealed like a pig.....

I saw your car today too. The DP looks like it was pretty easy for install. Are those the AR design pipes?

The exhaust sounded awesome. Not too loud in the cabin but you can feel the difference on the outside. Thinking of doing the Active x-pipe upgrade to boost the sound a little more. I'll be at the March 15th Cars and Coffee if you want to listen to it.

NHSkibm · 02-23-2009, 10:24 PM

I'm sure if you call BPG and tell John what Turner wants to charge they'll meet and beat the price..

+1. John will lower the price to beat Turner. He's good like that.

It's a JDM exhaust made by Tanabe for FAME, a tuner shop like Studie. It is not very loud down low, but once you open it up, it gives a nice high pitched roar.

Kev · 02-24-2009, 09:32 AM

John and Andy might be there as well.

The AR pipes are very high quality and show proven gains.
