Go to your local auto parts store and rent a spring compressor for $40. Take it back get your money back, it's a VERY easy install for anyone with any mechanical skills. And on the coilovers vs springs price, the coilovers are actually easier to install. But I would not pay a shot more than $200 for an install. The rear springs can be done in less than the time it takes to jack it up and remove the wheel. Fronts have an access panel that can be removed so the lower and upper arms do not have to be removed unless you are doing a camber kit.

I was quoted $600 also. I just installed them myself. The spring compressors would have been a huge PITA with hand tools. I had an air compressor to make the task easier and it was still time consuming.

$600 is WAY high. i had my coilovers installed for $250 cheaper than that...and that was with a second adjustment after they settled.
i hate to say it, but it sounds like to me that they might be taking advantage of you because you're a female. sucks to say, but that may be the case.
honestly i've been hearing about that same thing happening more and more (including my wife until she called me and i went down to the unnamed shop to set them straight). read an article the other day of a 60's year old woman that went to meineke to get her just oil changed, and was charged for stuff that "she needed"....$800 later....and they wanted to have her come back to get her transmission flushed for $400+.
honestly.....i wouldn't even consider barganing with them....just find another shop.

Does anyone know per chance what a spring install on a new M involves? I asked over on the M forum but it's not too active over there. I hate the massive gap but don't want a major drop, just something subtle like the Eibachs offer. But I don't want to have things trimmed, cut, camber kit, etc .... if at all possible.
