I have my appointment scheduled next Fri 8:00am!! Bringing my E90 to him... just lowered that thing. 
I'll bring my S on my 1 year anniversary next month! 
This better be all that it's cracked up to be cuz I'm driving from the SFV to Gardena!

Really? Why is that? I've always gotten the notion that a corner balance is a must when installing coilovers?

it will improve handling slightly but it makes the car look ugly since its suppose to crossbalance teh weight of the car. SO then the shocks have different lengths unless your car is magically perfect.
