Lowering XDrive cars need recoding?

Black5 · 03-03-2014, 06:13 PM

I got my H&R springs today and this Shop. They were quoting me $2k for install I'm like WHAT!!

They said its complicated and needs to be recoded for the new spring setup. Is this true? Anyone here in the Bay Area know good place to install without having to sell my left nut

You don't need to recode shit lol. Don't pay more than $400 for the installation. Make sure you get it aligned few weeks after the install.
