Supplier recommendations??
« on: 26 May 2009, 22:09 »
At the risk of a massive re-post can anyone reccomend a good place to purchase some new springs? Ive been quoted £279 for Eibach pro kit fitted on a 30 mm drop. Ideally im after 40mm. Who did anyone else go through?

Cheers, Nick

weitec, koni, jom....
fitting should be no more than £100. £120 at a push  :wink:

A garage down by me, yeah I got Weitec coilovers.
Phone around a few local small garages should be able to get it cheaper

See I was going down the route of a garage that supplies and fits. The quote is from Demon Tweaks, I suppose its not too over the top? How long do you think it would take for fit?

As you can tell Im pretty clueless!

Couple of hours, maybe a bit more if there is any problems (seized bolts etc) Spring kits are around £100 > £120

Thanks for the link, been comparing prices, everywhere seems quite similar. It says lowers "up to 40mm", but there is no option for different sizes? How does that work if they arent adjustable? :shocked:
