hi all finally getting round to purchasing some sportlines for the leon.
ive asked around and the cheapest i can get these fitted is £100.
my only problem is all i have asked have said when doing the alignment they only align the front wheels to the back,whereas i thought that on the alignment it should be 4 wheel alignment which i then took as all 4 wheels can be adjusted?
does anyone know if there is adj on the rear or not?
ets in mansfield only want the £100 to fit and align and formula 1 was only £120
very good cheap prices both but ive got to admit i feel a little cautious to let any of these chains under take the work but just havent got the time or energy to be bothered about doing it myself.
does anyone know/recommend anywhere around mansfield/notts/derby area
would sooner pay a bit more if anyone can recommend some where.
thanks in advance daz

what do you want to pay more for? cheaper the better only a complete f:censored:k tard could make a mess of lowering a car and aligning the wheels as long as they have got the proper gear i watched a bloke align a mini the other day it took him the same amount of time to do that as it did the bloke to fit 2 tyres on my car

Should have rephrased(don't mind paying more)for a recommended garage(if required).
Obviously I'd sooner it be as cheap as possible,think my main issue is as a time served engineer I've some right shoddy work,and I'm not sure if I trust someone(who's not been recommended),to fit the springs?anyways if anyone knows/can recommend anyone then please let me know as I'm hoping to get them fitted in the next 2weeks
Thanks daz

Time means nothing. You can spend 20min and do 4 wheel alignment with full camber adjustment on car and be as good as spending 1.5 for just front. Example: 2011 Skoda Octavia needing 4 wheel adjustment where all bolts are new and 2000 Audi/VW with frozen tie rods in upper part of wheel. Same quality and price at some garages but time taken - completly different. :p
