Fixing New Shocks and Springs?
« on: 06 April 2005, 11:11 »
Hi guys.

I got my new shocks and springs today from stuart and need to find a place to fit them.

I cant to it myself as i not experienced enough with working on cars and would rather it was
done by a professional.

Ive only got 1 quote so far, a local guy (golfmeister in hove) can anybody tell me how much
labour and time the kit would take to fit? Or know of any good places in sussex?

Any help would be ideal.

The garage where I get my car serviced etc did mine for £80 labour, any garage should do them for you. You wont be able to do them yourself anyway as you need one of those spring compressor thingybobs !  :grin:
......now officially dubless.
