With 4c your looking at about £400-500 a corner supplied & fitted for a fully rebuilt suspension from abn independent using Monroe shocks but Volvo springs. It'll be more if you have to buy your shocks from Volvo. I'm now having to do mine (2005 V70 t5 w/4c) after the previous owner had the front shocks only done - no new springs (one of the very few things he didn't do to be fair! Good man is Paul
) So pricing up the rest as an example:
Front
Springs (pair) £220
Bump stops (pair) £20
Gators (pair) £20
Top rubber mount (pair) £90
Top mount (pair) £110
Sundries £15?
Total parts - £475 from RUFE, all OE Inc del.
Ontop of that you'd need to be allowing for a new strut (£400 the pair from Monroe?) And fitting.
So allow 4 hrs at £50 hr, £200.
So front 4cs on a t5, which should be similar costs to an r is going to see your wallet lightened by just shy of £1100.
The backs should be a bit cheaper, say £800 all in.
So full suspension refresh on an R or T5 w/4C and your not getting much change out of 2k.
My advise would be to buy one that's had the work done or haggle hard to allow you to do it.
Cheers, Morgan
