Idea of cost for eibach springs to be fitted ?

[Briv6]

Any idea on cost for "fit only" for eibach springs on 182 ?

 

[DomP182]

Buy a pair of axle stands and a trolley jack, say£60. Then an hour to fit your self. Tis easy.

 

[mossyv6]

Do them your self, very easy.

 

[AlexW]

Where abouts are you? Somebody local will most likely offer help, myself included if not too far!

 

[Tony Hunter]

Well ???

 

[Briv6]

Scotland west lothian , a long way from Essex or Banbury , people say it's easy and 1 hours labour ?

 

[Oggy997]

Very easy. Hardest part was getting the top strut nut off or rejoining it to the hub.

I drove to a garage, had them undo the top strut slightly with an impact driver and had the wife help me get the bolt in to the hub.

I had a quote of £171 plus £33 tracking :rofl:

 

[Briv6]

I had a quote today but not sure of the price for just the springs as I asked to be quoted on eibach springs and front shocks , to fit the labour was £ 160 thst includes 4 wheel alignment ( swr stirling ) . Currently have the shocks going to order eibachs tomorrow . I thought it could all be done in 2 hours but maybe the shocks take an hour each ?

Fitting springs, about an hour if you don't get stuck with the top mount when doing it yourself.

Then alignment on top

 

[Briv6]

So are front shocks an hour each ?

 

[MicKPM]

So are front shocks an hour each ?

Hell... No!

Fronts will take 30mins unless your fixings need work to get off. As stated above you may be better taking it to a garage to get the top but buzzed off though.

30 mins each or 30 minute the pair ?

 

[MicKPM]

The pair... If you have access to air/power tools it's a piece of piss.

 

[Briv6]

Thanks I'll take that on board, I sent you a pm mick asking question

 

[sburrell93]

I'm not far from you mate. Fitted springs and front shocks on my dci, would be happy to lend a hand if you wanted. Cant imagine it's much different on a 182

Took me a bit longer than 30 mins a side tbf, but I didn't have air tools and the top nuts were a b*****d to get off!

 

[Fred@BTM]

My record is 23min to do all 4 corners, but i still charge 1 hour labour

where some places get their prices from is beyond me! £160 is a ripoff! I though SWR were Renault specialists not con-men!

 

[Djw John]

Fraser.J. You wanna do it? Me and Dave have a backlog of our own cars!

 

[Fraser.J.]

Mate drop me a PM, I'm over in fife, will happily fit them for pennies.

cheers john!
