£140 sounds like a reasonable price to me, do you have to supply your own springs?

im getting myn done at triple six just the rear front is already done its looking to cost me £80 for the torsion bar so this price would be reasonable considering theres more to it than there seems to be they are also estimateing these prices incase the come across a seized torsion bar then it could turn into a real hard and time consumeing job this is what they told me so hope this helps

Do the torsion bars yourself...learn by doing.....and breaking.

when lowering does it effect the camber and does the tracking need doing again, this is what 1 mech told me, sounded like he didn't wanna do it though.
