looking to get car lowered :)
« on: 03 September 2008, 17:50 »
hi guys as title says i am looking to get my Golf lowered but i am not sure that if i went just to a normal garage and said will you lower my car if i buy the coilovers they would do it? or would they?
if not does anyone know a good place in the Yorkshire area where i could get it lowered :)?
and roughly how much fitted it would cost?
or how much labour people have been charge in the past?
another or lol is it easy enough for me and my dad to do alone or is it a kind of specialist job?

thats it no more 'ors' lol ciao people hope to hear some replies soon :P

some garages will do it with the kit you buy!! othersw ould rather only use what they supply but many will do it with no guarantees as long as they are getting paid they normally dont care
