[roffythegooner]

i want to have my vtr lowered 50mm all round,iv been quoted £240ish 4 eibach front springs and torsion bar done. This is at elite in rainham,essex. Is this to much money?

[rossj]

I got mine done at 4extreme in crays hill, essex.

Spring were 80 for the eibach sportline 45-50mm then paid 4 extreme 170 to do it!!

[badasssaxo]

sounds a bit dear, it cost me £70 just for torsion bar to be lowered 40mm at 4extreme,essex

Agree'd!

If you’re around the Essex area I would recommend you use 4Extreme it’s a set rate of £150 and that’s for spring fitting and the torsion bar adjusted to match

Contact them on….

Cant recommend this bloke enough, he's done about 4 of my cars now with work ranging from lowering, Full exhausts, Induction kits and small work as well. Give them a call and have a chat, he's open all week and on Saturady but Saturday is his busy day so best to call first

How can you lower the front with those springs? The shocks are too long surely?

When the front end decompresses the springs will come out the seats!

Hmm, am I missing something?

if they are supplying everything and lowering the correct way then its not too bad

[euro-vtr]

if you want a trip to bournemouth il fit it for 120

[titchster]

Bit expensive IMO, know hes hours away from you, but as a guide, RickyP charges £160, and supplies the springs.
The place where I got my first car lowered was £150, and I had to supply the springs, so even then, that worked out at £200.

[wilksey]

yeah sounds a little dear mate although depends if they do a really good job

[roffythegooner]

thanxs 4 all ur advice it will give extreme a call,iv decided to 5omm all round and there new price at elite is 280 with eibach springs

[toms_vtr]

not 4extreme in crays hill!

went there 3 days ago!

I would do it for £150.00 including springs. But considering I am 160 miles away from essex me saying that is relatively useless for you. Anyone around the Solihull/Birmingham area who want theirs done pm me!

[Dasher_VTR]

beware of 4EXTREME i heard they use the notching method which is a shite way of lowering and potentially dangerous.

[luthor1]

I still want to know how you can lower the front with springs, and not have them POP out when unloaded?

Notches method of lowering is total bullshit btw, don't do it. I will pre-load the torsion bar and can actually be dangerous - actually I think someone said it up there ^ ^, but I agree.

Anyway, yeah £240 is way too much.
