Just back from garages to fit lowering kit and console bushes..

Featured Replies

As above, received the new springs and shocks through and seat consol bushes ( will post pic's later and when they are on ;).

I just took them up to the new garage up the road where i got my service done and he was saying ill need new top plates and Anti roll bar links for the front that he will need to order? I've never heard of this, so the rough price he gave me was £250.00 labour.

Not to keen on that so I will be going to some other garage's and a friend's to see what he can do!

have you tried Unit 18? cant recommend them highly enough, Ali replaced my console bushes and im sure he will fit a lowering kit too. try giving him a PM.

Thanks for the reply Gum,

I've heared of these guys but i dont know where they are based as Im up in Glasgow, Scotland!

i will find and pm them mate, any idea where they are based?

tbh your probaly better changing strut tops and bearings while your at it... it only costs a few extra quid but its done properly...

and the roll bar links might as well be done while at it too :thumbup:

Probably a bit of a trek but have you asked Star performance in Kirkaldy? I hear they are quite good?

All the way up here Gum yes haha!

Thanks for taking time to reply as well, just can't help but feel sometimes that you're over paying!

Dougie I have not mate, although I'll certainly look arround for a number for them and try, and get onto aa route finder and see how long it will take to there if its worth it haha :giggle:

Top mounts and ARB links seem sensible to me, as for the price, the job is really 2 - 3 hours for the suspension alone, bushes will be a bit longer so it depends what their hourly rate is.

Just visited a garage not to far from mine where my friend know's the guy and he's doing it all for £150 inc vat on friday, pretty happy with that compared to £300 odd :)
