Nuno Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I have gotten quotes for a few places to fit lowering springs and they vary by a considerable amount. What price should I expect to pay for fitting some lowering springs from a reputable garage and how long should it take? I may as well change my front and rear pads and tighten the handbrake at the same time, can anyone tell me what price to expect to do that as well please?

Darren-B Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I do all my work myself, shouldnt take a garage more than 2.5hrs to do the whole lot,, springs and brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 +1 You should be able to do then yourself mate invest in tools. It will cost less than the fitting costs! i have just done a full suspension adjustment/fitting with coilovers/ droplinks and front upper camber arm and service this week using axlestands and hydraulic jack and my only difficulty was dealing with the cold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some jobs I know I can do,but my lower back will not allow anymore.Others could be the same. I'm not picking,but it's just something that needs to thought of.

I cant even wash my car anymore and im 26 The other thing is when you've got your car half in pieces and you cant get a nut off, or you round one off... what do you do then? You're screwed.

rawbhp Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I fitted my rear springs myself as they are very easy- just two bolts on each side. Fronts are more complex. I think it cost around £60-80 to get them done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
