For people with Bilstein/Eibach and Coilovers installed

Thinking about installing either Bilstein/Eibach combo or KW coilovers (either V1 or V3)--more for cosmetics and decreasing wheel gap than wanting a sportier suspension.

What did you pay for installation?

Have you had any issues?

Thanks

I've had no problems with Eibach/bilstein's, for the install I would suggest doing it somewhere that doesn't charge per hour. It would be costly. Some places have a fixed price for suspension installation. The place I went charged me $120 x 2 since I got them installed in different times.

You're likely going to pay more than $120 for a complete suspension install (instead of just springs)...don't forget you'll have to pay for an alignment as well

Tires are also very important. I have Eibach/Bilstein combo. The ride was harsh when i had Pirelli Snow Sports on. But now i switched to Michelin Alpins and the ride is soooo smooth!!
