Getting the Clio lowered

[n1kk1]

Im getting my Clio lowered on Friday (40mm)

The guy's charging £20 but keeps avoiding me when i ask how long it'll take, how long should it roughly take, i'm not sure how many ppl will be working on it. Hoping he's not trying to rip me off

depends what he is doing! sounds dodgy to me! he will probably end up just cutting your springs!

 

[n1kk1]

He's got his own Jap company but offered to do it for me, should be a couple of hours max?!

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

well do you know what he is going to do? Just change your springs? change the dampners and springs? i would certainly find out!

I had my 172 lowered a few weeks ago, took about 2 hrs and charged £60 which I was happy with and was a good job carried out.

I fitted my 40mm springs myself on Sunday, took about an hour, maybe a bit more, but the second side was pish after working out the best route to take the shock out form under the front wheel arch lol. Back are a 10 min job to do both if its just springs.

He's just changing the springs, could only get 35mm but surely there's not much in 5mm?!

No, you will hardly notice the differnce, especially if you have fat passengers

Should charge you for about an hour and a halfs labour i suspect, so £20 sounds like a bargain

£20 cheap shouldn't hake more than 3 hours though.

 

[Adam]

yeah ya looking at about 1hr-1h30min max to change the springs...

 

[n1kk1]

How much would it add onto my insurance?

 

[Tyson-182]

£50 tops?

Tyson.
