Why only go with the rear? The stock sport shocks aren't designed for the limited travel of the lowering springs. That being said, I'm coming from a lighter front end on the 328, maybe the 335 feels a little stiffer up front. Looking forward to feeling the new set up! Can't wait for the parts to come in!

Well, $1050 for parts and labor isn't bad actually. $250 is average cost for the springs (..
and I paid $250 to have them installed at EAS). Subtract $250 labor from that $1050, and you're left with $800 for parts (..
$250 for the springs and $550 for all 4 shocks......and I'm paying $264 shipped for two rear shocks). I think the price you're paying is fair. The 335i feels pretty good up front actually, which is why I agree with
pkancel's assessment to just do the rear shocks.......at least for now. I'm trying not to get too ball's deep into modifying this 335i because I know its days are numbered. I made that mistake with my 2013 X5 only to sell it less than 5 months after purchasing it (..
and dumping over $5k in modifications/custom work during that time), and then having to sell all of the parts. My 335i is nearing completion.
