Lowering Costs

I was thinking of getting my car lowered.
Its goin to cost me about £100 for the springs.
And how much would it cost to have them fitted.

Re: Lowering Costs

normally £50-100

you will also need a laser alignment.

if you have a f1 autocentre near by, go to them, and say you want to get your car lowered, and that you 'mate' got it done for £50 from them. They honoured it for me so got it lowered and alligned £50 all in .

Re: Lowering Costs

if you have basic tools, and a haynes manual (if you arent confident about doing it) you will be able to do it yourself. its easy.

Re: Lowering Costs

don't think u can allign accurately yourself. garages laser align it. costs from £10-30 i think.

its best to get it done, otherwisse you minght have uneven tyre wear, and you steering might pull left/right
