Free Beer in Chicago

TheGuestSpeaker · 05-10-2013, 07:05 PM

Putting a feeler out now, my 135is is scheduled to show up the first week in June. I am looking to install a Bilstein B12 kit and Dinan camber plates and am trying to see if anyone in the area has experience working on a 1er/would want to help.

I changed out all of the struts and springs on my previous STi, so I have a general idea of what I'm doing, it would just be nice to have someone to help make sure things go smoothly.

Any help is appreciated as I've reached out to a few shops and have quotes ranging from $475-$900 for install of these parts. Unlimited pizza and beer of your choice provided while wrenching and at least a 6 pack on top to take home.

Also figured this might be a good way to meet other 1 series owners in the Chicago area as I'm new to the whole BMW scene.

Thanks

I'm game and have a good location and tools to do it. Spring compressors are crucial.

I'll join for the free beverages and pizza.

I'm waiting, was going to go the strut/spring route but am debating coilovers instead. Regardless I'll be sure to reach out for help with the install. How was the track day?
