BUY NOW 10nna! bargin:thumbs:

I used a sissor jack on thefront ball joints to compress - hence i needed new ball joints!!!! LOL!!! Took me a mear office jocky 5hrs with a pair of pliers and plastic hammer!!!!!!!:lol::lol:

i was quoted 150 for springs and shocks.
buy a power wrench £30
spring comprsessors £30

save money, have some fun and get to keep them too :D

I do them for 60-70 all round, takes bout hour and a half - 2 hours, depends on how much i have had to drink the night before. thats including getting out my tools and swearing cos someone hasnt put back my 18mm spanner :P

btw, best thing to do

jack up car, remove the shock assembly, pop it to a garage with the new springs, 20 mins work - £20quid

refit the whole thing again urself

100+ is a rip off to fit springs

you could buy a set fitted for not much more than that

spring compressors cost 15 quid.

Get the apprentice from your local garage to do it on the side ;) Give him 40 quid. :thumbs: G Clamps :!

Must say it would cost £100+ round my way too

well most garages wherever you go will charge on average an hour a side for fronts and hour for the back so 3hrs @ 35 an hour (average round here)
