Chicago area modders - PLEASE HELP!

It's been brought to my attention that I need a drop, and now after staring at my car for a day on its new 19's... I kinda agree.

Does anyone know where I could get a set of lowering springs for my E90 tomorrow night or Saturday morning (north suburbs would be preferred). I'd like to try and have them ON the car for our meet at Wilson Skate Park on saturday afternoon (shameless plug... if you aren't attending visit the thread here )

I know Car Boutique carries some but wanted to know if there are any other places they might have them in stock (or could get them with just a days notice) and install them too for a good price over me getting them somewhere and taking them to like CarX or someplace like that.


Thanks

-Badger

oh sure... i'll just throw down $1800 bucks for coil overs after my 3 month total tab stands at over $3500 in mods.

its not like I can just put it on my parents credit card... I work hard for this money.

just joined...

RennArt looks like it might be the place to go... however, i saw that they quoted someone $270 (3 hrs labor) to install the springs... is that what i should expect????

thats more than the fucking springs themselves!

if thats the case, I can't afford the springs and tints... hafta pick 1 and my appointment for the tinting is in 8hrs and 15 min from now!

Most places will charge over $200 for spring install.

I also doubt Rennart has the springs in stock, they are a smaller tuner shop. But ya never know.

1. ITS NOT TINTS!!! you are getting tint....

2. If you are in a hurry then its harder to shop around. You can either pay the price to whoever has what you need since you are at their mercy or wait and shop around for a better price
