Interestingly Awesome's outlet "Parts Bucket" have 10 sets of VWR springs going for £199.99 on ebay...

Anyone tempted? You're only saving about £10 though...

I've messaged them to see why they are listed when the website says out of stock.  There is a suggestion in the description they might not come in the right packaging.

They're on my list, just trying to find a decent price for fitting locally.   My Dad mentioned the other day he had a spring compressor in his shed though, dare I do DIY?

I've fitted springs before, it's not too difficult, just take your time and you will be fine. Will make it easier still because everything is new.

When they email you back start negotiating a better price, they should be able to knock off 10% straight away if you deal outside of eBay to avoid the fees.

Cheers, I'm tempted I must admit.  The rear ones would be easy from what I've seen, perhaps I'll give it a go.

Now to negotiate a discount  :wink:

I've just sent them a message via eBay asking what the best price is fitted as they are only down the road from me. Will let you know what they say

Turns out they aren't seconds they're the full branded version.

No discount negotiation yet!
