Lowering quote

£150 approx I have been quoted by my local fiat dealer (TJ Vickers) to lower my car on eibach springs.

Now with the GP being such a new car, I dont want any independant garage to touch it. Now, considering this is the dealer I bought the car from, would you say that is a steep quote?


Incidentally, after 6 months of searching for that 'perfect' alloy for my car, i.e ones that dont have that "aftermarket" look, I think I've reached a decision. They look similar to the panda 100hp alloys imo, and give a "smooth and blunt" look to the 7 prongs. I shall have in size 195/45/16 to keep things looking smart, and will be dropped on said above eibach springs:

Wheels will also have fiat centre caps, provided they fit

Opinions? (not that anyone will be able to change my mind)

Qoute sounds good but check which eibach springs they are puttin in.
wheels look nice could be standard on a fiat but a bit ordinary and prob a bit small.

but im sure it will look very nice

are there any good damper upgraded available? ie koni sachs etc? as i feel the sportings wpould benefit from better damping rathet than lower stiffer springs.

What is that price to fit some eibachs.... or for eibachs & fitting

Labour cost for swaping springs around

Ahh ok fort so lol

Have you notified your insurance company?

£150 is steep for just fitting springs IMO.

My local place wanted £200. fcuk that i'll get it done else where.

Not yet as I havent even bought the stuff yet!

How hard is it to do it yourself?

Wow, I got charged £80 for fitting from a proper mech. and thought it was bad!

Although, if I hadn't of been wasn't away my cousin + dad would do it for the usual price: 'Awk, never worry!'

ring them before you buy the stuff cos if theyre anything like insurance company theyll want at least another £150 off you...

Quote seems pretty fair tbh especially as it's a main dealer.

Wheels look very nice mate

£150 is abit steep for just fitting, i'm thinking of doing mine soon, but i'll do mine myself, easy enough. I'll do yours fenton, as your local, if mine are easy to do.
