do the back urself and get a garage to do the front thats what i did.got vaux to do the front wwhen it went in for service.

tracking is always fine - its the camber you should be worried about

it makes me laugh when people say 'that included them taking the old stuff out and putting the new stuff in'

lol how the fuck were they surposed to put the new stuff in anyway

I bought the shocks and springs from someone on here, not entirely sure if they provided me with new nuts. If they do then i may well do the rears myself too. Never thought of hacking the bastard off :thumbs:

oh just thought, if you have new shocks then just cut the nut off with a hacksaw, they should provide you with new ones :)

erm do the springs yourself, its a case of undoing the btoom of the shocks, taking the springs out and then putting them bk in, takes 10 mins top.

as for the shocks, yeah mine where done up pretty tight, managed it in the end with some funky adjustable spanner which my dad has.

I just lowered my front 60mm today with apex shocks and springs and the tracking is fine. Just couldnt do the rear as the nut on the shock was hard to undo and was getting more and more fcuked the harder we tried to turn it.

How much would i be looking at for just the rears to be done? shocks and springs??

did my whole lot in an hours, its dead simple, only slightly tricky, well not tricky just hard is the top nut on the front shocks, mainly because its done up so bloody tight.

Better off doing it urself mate, i've just replaced my 2 front springs in about 4hrs(i'm not the most mechanically minded person in the world) doing the rear 2morrow.

mine cost £90 that was takin the old shocks off an putting new springs an shocks on ABP motorsport in crewe very good service well happy with results as i dropped 60mm:D

my friend works in garage so fitted them after hours for the price of a pint of stella! bargin! haha

LOL ur all getting ur asses raped if u give them the kit its only labour £20 for mine by one of the best places in glasgow

Chapip, u from doncaster? if so where did u go to get them fitted?

i paid £70 2 have springs fitted.

40 quid for springs n dampers

£75 to fit shocks and springs.

The tracking was fine.

Pete

Well thats the quote that I got for full suspension change, and just changing the springs really involves almost as much work, easier and quicker to do on the back but the front still needs compressing and shit.

I just fitted my own.

i was quoted 80quid to fit my springs!

£100 to change some springs?

Around here you pay about £20-£25 an hour labour, wont take anyone with 2 arms more than 2 hours with the right tools.

You only need springs, if thats what you want.

The best quote I got was £100 that was for taking the standard shite off, then putting the new kit on, then tracking it.

But I did it myself, and the tracking is fine.

about 40 quid an hour i would say.

Hi

How much am I looking at? Excluding the springs, and what do i need? can i just change the springs or do i need a full kit?
