How much do garages ask for fitting coilies?

I don't want to spend 200 on coilies, and another 100 for fitting  :shocked:

Around 50 sounds sensible.

There are speed bumps near me and it's FAR softer to accelerate over them at 50 MPH then it is going 10-20 MPH. :grin:

Oh and well said Shady. :afro:

Lowness is not everything.  Does not make you cool. :rolleyes:

And I would not be putting small kids in a really low car. (Not aimed at anyone)

Fitting coilies vary from place to place, most charge per axle (Front and Rear)
I've been quoted £30 each so £60 all round which sounds pretty reasonable to me ^^

Oh the Garage was "Autostreet" in Enfield, Good bunch of young guys :)

Clearly wasn't aimed at you actually, it was more a back up for Deano, honestly missed your post. ;)

Because kids have soft bones. It's also uncomfortable for them.

Just my opinion on the subject. ;)
