Suspension Fitting.

What would people say is a good price for this, all rounds shocks and springs. What have you paid in the past and what is the rough times that it takes. Just had mine done and it seems a bit pricey tbh.

i fitted my own back shocks, then got the torsion bar lowered, front springs and shocks fitted for £120 when i supplied parts, well, when i had my saxo that was, about a year ago

How much did you pay?

Should be looking at anything between 100 and 150 for fitting (front and back). Then parts on top.

Manic motors and ricky-rpm are best places to go.

from kent? to ricky p's or manic? abit of a treck lol

For shocks and springs fitted from a garage near me cost me 52 quid lol!
It depends on the area though, if you live near london its going to be more expensive then living in the middle of no where!

mine was in scarborough, nearest city is 55 miles..

just depends whos doing it, some places charge more than others, some places put 2 mechanics on it to get it done quicker so charge more

Depending on who does it id estimate they would round it off to 3 hours work. Just depends how much they charge an hour and whether you get any mates rates.

3hours work? i hope you mean with torsion bar aswell! if its just fitting the dampers and springs then its like an hour and half work most!

when we did mine aron it took 2 hours to lower the bars and fit and build up coilovers plus rear dampers

[ryhornvtr]

Oh ok, maybe i was a bit too generous there.

Maybe more like 2 hours then.

Ive only ever done the fronts myself and it took me a few hours. If i had air tools it would take a lot less time.

once you've done it a few times it's pretty easy mate and you just do out without thinking like!

If your from the SE pm James_pug or shaggers_sax_vtr.
