BMW Shop in MKE / Chicago
Looking for a reputable shop to do some work on the car whenever it comes in. Would like to install the KW HAS kit. I’ve been quoted $1100 to install that by Milwaukee Motorwerks, which is 8 hours of labor and includes alignment. Sound fair?
From reading on here, it sounds like at the most, the spring installation should take 3 hours. Anybody else have experience in the area?

If you really are considering that far of a drive, I'd take a look at IND.
They're actually nearly as far (time driven) outside of Chicago as they are from Milwaukee. I've only had body work down by the sister (possibly former) company, but have had the chance to walk through IND's shop and see their work (including full project cars). They'd definitely be one of my calls if I needed work done. |

IND was the first shop I contacted. They said they have their cars lowered by Fall-Line Motorsports. They gave me a rough estimate of $2,000 to install the HAS kit.
I’ve received a lower quote of $800 with alignment from another shop down in IL, but most shops are charging around $1100. |

A spring install will be cheaper than a HAS kit. The cheapest I found was $800 in IL but I've decided that the KW HAS kit is too low in the back at the highest setting, which defeats the purpose of an adjustable kit. So I am returning it and getting AST springs until a decent coilover set is released that isn't for the track. Let me know if you want the contact info.

At one point, they were operating under the same roof in Palatine.
