Really? I live off Pleasant Grove as well...right there next to Vencil Brown elementary in the Platina Collection :P -- how much are they charging you for the install? I believe their labor rate is like $80 an hour compared to $120 at Rocklin Service Center.

Good ole Rocklin wanted $900. JBZ (local) wanted $600. I spoke with KarToyz in Fremont and he quoted me $425. I was just hoping to find someone local but I might have to take a little road trip. I do have another call into an independant mechanic who was a Porsche mechanic for many years and has tons of experience with german cars. I am not sure if he has ever done this particular install but I am very confident of his work. I am anxious to get his car a little lower. I think it will really make a difference in the "looks" dept.

He does good work. Although his shop mainly focuses on jap imports, he did my header, coilover, brakeline, and my custom injection kit. He's done major work with e36s and he drives a 2003 E320, so knows his way around mbz.

Ronnie, would this happen to be John at Exact Motorsports? If it is he did my pulley kit install but couldn't get the power steering pulley off to replace.
