Hi guys

Went and treated myself yesterday to a set of tte lowering springs! :D Got quoted £60 from my local garage (including balancing the front wheels) for them to be fitted.

Does this sound reasonable?

[Kerby]

yeah thats pretty good mate. i paid £85 for fitting and balancin

[Ryan1985]

Sounds pretty decent mate, I got charged £95 for my shocks and springs to be fitted and my wheels balanced!

[Chuck04]

i paid 120 for fitment of mine <_<

[clarky]

Should be between 2 and three hours work ...

[Chuck04]

yea should take too long for any half decent garage, believe mine took an hour and half if i remember correctly

[DaveSR]

On eBay........

It says that the T-Sport and SR already have the lowering springs as standard?

Is this true or is this only for the standard TTE springs and you can go lower on others brands if you know what I mean?

You'd never compress them enough to get the spring off the shock, not unless you or a mate are incredibly strong!!?
