Where to get suspension put on..??
« on: April 08, 2009, 12:38:11 AM »
I need to find a place to put my bilstein struts/eibach springs on. I talked to steves European auto, it seemed kinda pricey.

Any help would be appreciated..

German Motor Works would be my first choice, Stefan is the man.  If he's too busy give VR Performance a call in Utica

Stefan installed my suspension about a year ago, and I then had Charles at Auto Europe do the alignment.  If Stefan is too busy, I can arrange for it at Auto Europe service in B-Ham.

Installation, roughly $750.  And about $165 for a 4 wheel alignment.

Service # 248.645.6300  Ext. 8 for Alexei the service advisor.

750!!?!????!?!? 
Steves said 465 and an alignment would be 90.
And german motor works said 316. Plus additional for alignment.

Just about the prices I was expecting.  You'll want to get the install @ GMW then take it to Charles at AutoEurope for the alignment.  Aside from the fact that he is recommended by more than a few on the board, $165 for an "Audi Alignment" really isn't over-priced.  The dealer will be at or above $200 and I think Steve's is $165?  For the same price you get to talk to Charles and tell him what u want.

Ditto.  Stefan did my suspension a couple years back.

I'll pass this down on my end, as I feel that what I was told is way too high for labor.  But I do know that the alignment is right.

$750 is crazy!  It's a pretty easy job if you have a bench spring compressor, but it does take a few hours of wrenching.
