Just got my car back from a garage about half hour ago or something with the new springs on!
The person who sold them to me said they were "stiff" ahhhhh apparently not, Soft as f**k and the car is bouncing around like nobody's business :/ Under steers too

I know that but it's still stupidly expensive, 99% of people will just go 'oh that's a clean car'. I personally would never pay it, but then everybody has different priorities.

We'll agree to disagree! LOL! I think it's a pretty good price to be honest (but yes, it's a lot). As for 99% of people saying, "oh, that's a clean car"... not a problem for me personally as I don't get it done for their benefit and I don't give two hoots what they think.
I have it done to try and keep the car looking better for longer and because red paintwork is a real pain in the ass when it starts to turn pink!

Could it be that your dampers are knackered mate?
Dont know what brand they are, and The dampers were fine before I swapped the springs.
Would that be the problem yeh?

I see why you have it done and it's good to see people like you look after their car so well. For me I don't believe my car is worth spending the money on unless it's mechanical.

^^ Same as Tony really. If I was to buy a 15-20k car brand spanking new, I think I'd do it once a year tbh. But an 11 year old car is just not worth it tbh.
I dont know cos the springs feel softer than the stock ones, Feels crap going over speed bumps, the car is just hard but bouncing everywhere
