Xpost: 335xi suspension upgrade checklist

Xpost in the 335xi forum, but this forum gets much more traffic....

So, I pulled the trigger on a very nice 2011 335xi CPO (with 6-year prepaid maintenance, courtesy of the former owner). Big upgrade from my 328i in terms of power and grip.

First order of business (after swapping over to my 193m wheels) is a proper suspension upgrade.

I may do the work myself: the first shop I called quoted me $600 to install new shocks and springs. Seems a little high, I will just tackle it myself if that is the case.

Here is what I currently have on order:

Koni Yellows for 335xi
Eibach pro kit for 335i

What I don't have, but may need:

Shock mounts? Which ones? Car will be used as a DD, but I can't stand the tall ride height and soft suspension.
Anything else while I am at it?

What else do I need for the install (apart from tools?). Any good web references that I can look at to speed up the install?

ECS Tuning has a great video in the DIY section on a coilover install. It is the same install for your springs and shocks mostly.
