How much did you pay for Sport Springs/Full Suspension installed?

I am being quoted $500 and $625 from an independent BMW shop and a BMW dealership, respectively. Neither are with alignment included. Is it just me or are these high prices? The town I live in doesn't have many creditable shops I'd trust my car with. At this point I'm considering doing it myself.

Installing springs is pretty straight forward if you have the right tools

I was under the impression that if u drop the car your headlights need to be adjusted for which coding would be required.

After having springs installed and waiting a few days for them to settle, you should have an alignment. Installing spring does change the cars riding and handling specs.
