H&R Springs (urgent)
Just found a decent pair of H&R 35-55mm springs for sale. If I buy them where do I get them fitted and how much will it cost?
Thanks
Thanks

Re: H&R Springs (urgent)

Mate that owned a garage done mine for £40
But I think you could be looking at up to £120 depending on who you use

Best quote I had was £180, the springs are cheaper than the bloody labour to fit them!Match wrote:DaaaamnCraigy wrote:Mate that owned a garage done mine for £40

Re: H&R Springs (urgent)
Look for some good back street garages. I wouldn't pay anymore than £50 labour tbh. I had my coilovers removed, hubs swopped and brakes fitted and bleeded for £50 on my old polo TDI sport. But had my springs fitted of a mate for a trip to TGI's lol
Re: H&R Springs (urgent)
I know it's ridiculous! No way is fitting springs worth anything near £150. I thought it'd be £40 max!AJ_7 wrote:Best quote I had was £180, the springs are cheaper than the bloody labour to fit them!Match wrote:DaaaamnCraigy wrote:Mate that owned a garage done mine for £40

Don't know if I'd trust a private mechanic or dodgy garage :pNMavs wrote:Look for some good back street garages. I wouldn't pay anymore than £50 labour tbh.

Re: H&R Springs (urgent)
Only chance you've got of getting a reasonable price mate. Big name places, you will pay big money for it's as simple as that. But to be honest, many of private garages have better mechanics who actually have pride in their work over some big name places.Match wrote:Don't know if I'd trust a private mechanic or dodgy garage :pNMavs wrote:Look for some good back street garages.

Ask about in your area and see if anyone knows any decent independent garages
And always have a look at the place before you get it done. The calibre if cars being worked on will give you an idea of how good they are
