The Cost of Lowering...

[ClarkyClio]

Hello,

How much does it cost for a garage to fit a set of springs to ur car approximatley.

I plan to get a set of springs and dampers soon, and was wondering how much this would cost to fit?

Cheers

Depends on the garage tbh mate . . where are you based ??

As MNaz said depends where you go Fred charges £50 for it Demon Tweeks do it for £90 including setup check.
It takes about 2 hrs to change the suspension though.

Roughly 70-90 as the chaps say above. Unless you know someone
Mine cost 15!

Is it more involed than 'just' swapping springs for lowered ones?
i.e is there any setting up to be done that the average DIY'er would have trouble with?

I saw a lowered 172 cup today... .and it got me thinking Hmm

Just lowering it a few mm on springs, would that affect the handling at all?

Nope best get the tracking check afterwards but its very simple to do the spring swop.

Fitting of springs and tracking for me = £80

 

[Fred@BTM]

Fred charges £50

no i don't!!

i charge £40 for springs
and £50 for coilovers as they take longer

Arr right I knew your prices had gone up I think it was £40 springs £50 for springs and dampers.
Anyway you'll need to charge £50 as I'm still on 10% commission arn't I.
