lowering quote

[k9saxo]

just had a lowering quote on my car for 40mm, if i get the springs it will cost approx £60 to have the front lowered and about £150 to get the rear done. Is this a good price? i'm going to ring the insurance this week to find out what the increase would be. was also recommended to do the shocks is this necessery for a 40mm drop ona 1 litre mk 1?
thanks in advance

when i got mine done i bought the 60mm kit and the fitting was £141 inc vat for front and back.

[k9saxo]

hmm looks like i will have to ring around a bit more then, thanks mate

[puzzledzippy]

where are you from?

[furioAL]

There is a place in Hartley Wintney that will fit your springs and lower it for £120 so £120-£150 for the complete fitting and adjusting torsion bar is what you should be looking at...

You don't need to upgrade the shocks for a 40mm drop... but if you lower the car more than 40mm then it is highly recommended...

Let us know how it goes!

[DevilDamo]

Oooh... Motowize recommendations :P

[liamk15]

£125 at a garage not far from me.Got mine done there for £100 tho i was cuffed:)

[Mattvtr]

i thought i was quoted steep for 100 for the rear!150 is loads,nowhere round my area is cheap :rage: might have to do it myself,could be fun.lol

[saxyVTRsaxo]

i've just booked my car in to have it lowred at that place in Hartley Wintney and he quoted me £45 for the torsion bar to be lowered and £85 for the front shocks and springs to be fitted. definatly shop around as i got well and truly ripped off when i had my last saxo lowered, cost me £265.............

[Graeme]

i payed about £160 for mine to be lowerd and that was the cheapest i got

£60 for springs and £100 for them fitted and rear lowerd

[al_VTR]

got mine done at Motowize in Hartney Wintney as well. Graeme is a good bloke & although i had to drive quite a way to get it done i'm chuffed with the results.

paid 50 for the springs agggggges ago, then 120 all in to get the car lowered all round

wheres hartney witney????

[puzzledzippy]

wheres hartney witney????

just past blackbush airport in camberly, near damo

[dannyjay]

I can get (If I buy the springs my self) my saxo lowered, inc front and rear for £70. :Y:

[Natalie]

That seems a lot to me. I paid £80 to get my rear lowered but that's only because a bolt rounded off and he had to pull my rear axle down to lower it. Should have been about £50/60

I paid £30 for my springs and my boyfriend lowered the front for me

If you know someone who can lower the front then just get a garage to do the rear. It will work out cheaper :Y:
