Good place to get some springs installed on my E90??

Greetings from up north in Vancouver, Canada. I'm looking to get some H&R Sport springs installed on my E90, but can't find any reasonably priced shops around here. I'm wondering if anyone knows any good shops in Washington area or if anyone works at one that could hook me up with a good deal, or one that has a good reputation?

whats reasonable? spring installation will run you about $100-200 US depending on where you go. I know a local guy who charges 65 per hour and he's excellent. Call ahead though and tell what you want done. I would say just over an hour for installGene's Auto Repair in Bellevue, WA.

$100-$200 is very reasonable, most of the quotes I've been getting are a minimum of $275-$300 just for the spring install.

In the meantime, I also need a place to get mouting and balancing done for my new wheels and tires, I thought Discount Tire did it for free if you buy the tires off the web, but they want to charge me $80... anywhere else recommended?

mounting and balancing is almost never free, and if you think it is, its somewhere included in a price total. Discount usually charges $25 bucks per wheels for mounting and balancing....ive only had one problem at discount tire, they scratched one of my DPE wheels, and the manager was willing to cover the costs for wheel repair. Wasn't a big scratch but they were willing to take responsibility. I always go to discount.

Ya thats so weird because last time I bought tires from them in-store mounting/balancing was free, and they even price matched to tirerack.

Would definately reccomend Group 2 Motorsports in Seattle. Excellent and very experienced shop. My e90 is currently getting kw v2's and h&r sways installed. I will ask tomorrow about costs for springs.
