Any Good After Market Shops in LA?

Hey there SoCal folks. Anyone know of good shops that can lower an F30 in the LA area?

Saw 2 AW F30 on the road today. LOL.

Hey Long, did you guys lower this one? If so, is that the H&R Super Sport springs? I'd like a little lower in the front or higher in the back. Also, do you guys do alignment or is it not needed? PM me the cost!

In the South Bay try contacting West End Alignment. The owner Darin is very involved with the BMW CCA LA Chapter autocross program and does outstanding work. I personally have been going to Darin since the late 80's!

Try saving up for something better. KW DDC coilovers. It will work with your edc function. If you do not have the EDC function, you can get the module and run an app off your Iphone.

I know this is not BMW, but it is the same concept.

Thanks for the suggestion Long

I dont have EDC, so if i want it, i would have to get the module as well...
am going to look into it, especially the price...


What about this one? it's not as "fancy", it doesn't come with an App
but if for the same price or less...

would it be a good product to consider? what's your take on this one>



I am not gonna track my car, i doubt it, but i just want to have nice sport tuned lowered ride...

I have no idea about that setup. At that price, you might as well go with KW clubsport. They come with camber plates as well.

Hi, I'm new here and new to BMW's.

I just got a 2012 335i with M Performance brake system, M Performance Double-Spoke 405M, 20" Lightweight Forged Wheels and M Performance exhaust. I'm looking for a tuner in LA, has anyone ever used Ghost Motorsports on National in LA? Any others you would recommend.

Frankie,

Thanks for the suggestions, as I said I am new and don't really know what I can do. But i've heard that a simple tune can add some decent power.

yes a tune will.
JB tune is well priced- and
has a good reputation for e9x application. check out their site and email Terry.

I've driven longtran's f30 - he has the jb tune. the tune is in its early stage.
// if ur in the neighborhood u can ask for a ride along to see the performance difference.

- just do some research, or have questions - post it up- the forum guys will help u out as much as possible - if not i will.
