Springs install cost?
What's the typical cost to install springs on an F10 xdrive?
I'm being quoted about 7.5 hours from multiple shops which ends up being $900-$950, plus wheel alignment on top. That's seems high to me. Only one shop was around $450. I'm in Calgary, Canada.n |

Its not that hard to do. Not sure how mechanically inclined you are, search for a DIY... I put the coilovers on mine in ab 3-4hrs taking my time.

you need spring compressor for both. go rent it at the parts store for free.
- you will also need a small 18" bottle jack to "jack down" the control arms to get enough clearance for the bottom shock bolts! - you also need a bending 3/8 ratchet to be able to remove the rear shock top nuts. - i also suggest you get a buddy to help out. 4 hands was a lot easier then by myself. - last but not least! make sure you torque everything down to spec! good luck and enjoy it!
