Question On Lowering Springs?

[renclio]

Hi

I was just wondering if anybody knew how much it would cost to get lowering springs fitted at a garage or if anybody could give me a quote?

Cheers
Callum

£40+ in my experience

 

[C.slicker]

Yeah around 40-70 quid.

£40 is that it? i was quoted a minimum of £90 when i was looking becuase of reno's labour estimates

 

[TeZ]

45 for mine

 

[NB 02 HOT]

where did you have yours done tez? sounds cheaper for me to drive to oxfodshire than it does to have them done here

 

[Bluebeard]

My mate done mine for £20

I think the going rate is £20 per corner.

 

[TeZ]

lol dads mate haha but a garage only quoted 60

On the subject of lowering, does anybody know anywhere in the South East where they will fit them? Around Brighton/ Eastbourne area.

Oh no!!!

That would have been perfect! :dapprove:

Norfolk area is a good 5 hour drive from me on a good day!

 

[Timmay]

^^ oh dear prob spend loads on petrol getting here

 

[DougClio16v]

I've just got a quote from a local garage for £200!! Wtf - There is no way im paying that to get it lowered!!

 

[Timmay]

^^ bloody hell! consdiering it really is a piece of piss job 200 quid is a rip off

 

[JR]

Going rate is about £10 per corner, i am getting mine done for about half that though.

 

[edde]

£40 or so you should expect IMO.

i got charged £42 ,which i think was an hours labour, by a garage to put two standard rear springs on mine. Didnt have a choice at the time becuase it had failed its mot on a broken one

Just got my springs now! KTR is actually Apex springs! Can't wait to get them fitted!

 

[Clio_Craig]

40mm doug? have u had ur zorst fitted?

KTR being Ktec? Actually proper Apex or just the same colour?

 

[DougClio16v]

yea 35mm actually, but im sure after they have been run in the drop will be near enough 40mm. No, the custom system from Powerflow is going to cost me around the £300 mark - I need to get saving. I'm planning on getting that done after FCS though (wanted it done before, but I can't get 300 quid at the drop of a hat).

Proper Apex! Apex boxing, Apex written on the springs! And yea KTR - KTec.

 

[Clio_Craig]

mine is on 35mm springs n its definately dropped lower as the springs have bedded in, im happy with the look

Proper Apex! Apex boxing, Apex written on the springs! And yea KTR - KTec.

Thats happy days then, was struggling to find any Apex when I looked not so long ago!

Cheers mate

If they give you a quote per corner be sure to do the back ones yourself!

It is literally a 10 minute job and is seriously easy!
