STTerron, Sparks81 here. I'm in the Maple Valley area with a '23 Forge Green ST. I see a few white ones, black ones, red ones, and some Carbonize grey ones. I had a good conversation with someone who had a white one. we had a good conversation in the Costco parking lot. Have you been able to coordinate GTG yet? I'm near the Kent area.
Sparks81 here, '23 Forge green in Maple Valley/Covington area. If you find a good shop, let me know. There's a dealer in Bellingham that will do shocks and sway bars. Beside that, Galpin Ford down in the San Fernando Valley (So. Cal) will do pretty much anything performance wide to your ST. Galpin Ford has a performance shop across the street from their dealership.
New to the ST world... Been a BMW loyalist for 13+ years and just bought my ST within the last 3 weeks.
Eibach Pro Kit Springs have been ordered and are en route. Going to purchase 1.25" & 1.5" spacers within the next week. Looking for a shop to install. The 3 or 4 places I've reached out to are quoting $1200-$1500 in labor. Thoughts? Appreciate any/all input.

Are you tool savvy? Springs and spacers are easy to install and SUPER easy to install on STs.
I’m installing those same springs tomorrow for the 2nd time! (My own ride this time)
I highly recommend looking into places like Ant’s garage. They provide you a bay with a lift and every tool at your disposal including spring compressors.
your spring job is a good 2-3 hour job and that’s taking your time. The shop is hourly at 40 an hour… so you could even play it safe, book 4 hours, and only be out 160 dollars.
Granted you will have to find a place to do your alignment… but you’re still saving close to 1,000 dollars.
if you’re willing to work with me on time, I’d happily meet you at the Everett garage and assist with the install. Buy me a beer.
Look up Houston Speed Freaks spring install. Super easy.

Also for everyone in the Seattle area, I have all the USBs and have successfully jailbroken ‘20-‘24 10-inch screens for Android Auto / CarPlay full screen functionality. If anyone is interested and wants theirs done, I will do it for free, just gotta come to me at a decent time of day. Takes about 20-30 minutes.

I mean, not really? However, I installed a new front bumper, spacers, small things here and there on my previous BMW’s. I already have a place picked out for alignment. But, I’m super intimidated about springs. That would be absolutely amazing if you could help me. I’d be more than happy to buy you several rounds. You’re incredibly generous to even offer. Something I wasn’t expecting from anyone at all. Let me know, I’d definitely like to converse about it. Cheers brotha. I’ve actually watched the Houston Speed Freaks spring install on YouTube - about 15mins? Seemed too good to be true, for the install. Took it with a grain of salt and thought it could never be that easy?
