YAY finally got my coils delivered. Can someone recommend a good place in and around the GTA to get these installed?
Ian, where did you get your springs installed?
Thanks

oooo looking good 
On the G, I did them myself.
On the Z, I got lazy & had a BMW tech that has a shop in Bolton do them (RMP Motors)
There's a great shop in Newmaket
Vic Simone.. right near the Mercedes dealership.
In the East end GTA... I'm not sure

I second the recommendation of www.simoneperformance.com . Vic installed a set of Eibachs on my sedan last year.

Who did you all deal with at Simoneperformance? Was it Vic? I emailed him a few times and he seems like a nice guy. Ball park how much do you think it should cost to have my coils and camber kit installed as well as alignment?
Also I hear a lot of people waiting to get an alignment done after lowering their car. Does this apply to me as well?
Thanks

Vic is the owner and head tech. I've always delt with him, a very nice and knowledgeable person.
His rate is $70/hr..probably around $200-$250 pendin its a straight forward install.
As for an alignment, I would let the coils settle in for a while and then go back and have the car aligned. Vic can do the alignment there on the "Hunter" alignment machine.
Cheers,
Bill

Ok so I talked to Vic at Simoneperformance and he told he that it would take an entire day to to do my suspension. That doesn't seem right to me, my understanding is that it should take around 3-4 hours to install coils and the camber kit.
From your experience, how long do you think a suspension install should take?

If they are doing it right it will take an entire day to do this. Slapping it on may take 2 to 3 hours but setting it up takes a long time.
Don't forget that there could be problems...you never know.
My car was there all day just for a spring install. We ran into issues with the spring perches, not being able to get them off. They were seized on
