    Lowering Springs for S70! How much????

    Im going to get a set of -40mm springs for my S70. Ive seen a set of PI ones on POTN for £146 or a set of APEXI ones for £134.
    How much do you reckon it'd cost to fit these (roughly)
    Anyone know anyone in the Northwest who could do this????
    Thankyou, Goodnight....much love

    There's ABP motorsport in Northwhich who charge around £120 for fitting plus £46 for laser alignment.

    I had my golf set up by DP motorsport on Liverpool Old Rd in Warrington, they normally deal with Porsches or mental mitzis etc but I suppose alignment is alignment....

    Eibach springs are highly rated but cost around £200 but you get a good balance between comfort and handling.

    I've got a Bilstein streetline kit on my Mk2 Golf which was £175 for 4 shox & 4 springs which means it's very Kart like now!

    No experience of the JR's but I found somewhere last night online that'll do Eibachs for £180 ish (incl VAT) which is £30 cheaper than most places...

    Try www.dcdezign.com

    The Eibachs are £60 than the others but they are very good!

    Try Demon Tweaks in Wrexham.

    They'll probably charge you around £100-£150 to fit them but will include a full 4 wheel laser alignment and set up.
