SHAHZ Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Tony am getting a set of coils for the E60; what would be the fitting process in regards to geo; obviously a geo would be done after install - would a fine tune need to be done after 'x' amount of miles/period of time as with lowering springs? What do you envisage the fitting time to be, couple of hours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Problem free then yes. What type did you go for in the end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHAHZ Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Would a fine tune be needed/recommend ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 BC..... Good ...... On coilovers a return to the ride height is normally enough but if you want it back onto the rig it's 500 miles settling and £30 for the fine-tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 I'll speak to Joe..... On some of the BMW's you need to remove the drive shafts in order to get the coils out but that doesn't come to tow days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
