Fitting Lowering Springs

[jdearden]

Bought some springs for the Leon today, anyone got any idea of cost to fit springs?
I've had a ring round two garages but just wanted to know what it cost you guys so I can compare further.

 

[RobsCupra]

I got quoted £80 last year IIRC.

 

[damienmcd21]

i got my coilovers fitted for £50,right enough i gave the chap a hand with them!

been quote 80 quid from two places today for my Altea.

 

[cheungy]

My quote was-:

Fitting Labour - £80.00
4-wheel Alignment - £50.00

total time needed 4-5 hours

 

[jdearden]

I'm getting quoted twice that amount atm! Anyone know anywhere in Manchester area/ NW who'd do it round the £80 mark?

 

[RobsCupra]

Awesome?

Awesome?

I thought their website said prices start from £160 in their workshop section of the site?

Its always worth dropping them a line.... I don't think anyone can afford to turn work down these days.... No matter how small.

Yeah I'll give them a ring in a bit, I do buy stuff from them so surely they can do me a decent price.
Plus I know Awesome's Andy browses these forums so he might do it for the price everyone else is quoting

So far:

Quoted Fitting - £80
4 Wheel alignment - either £40

I was at Awesome on Friday and they quoted me £167.50+VAT which included 4 wheel alignment but this was for fitting springs and dampers so springs only might be a bit cheaper.
I would give them a ring.

Yeah I gave them a rang but i was quoted the same price as you were for the dampners too. I'm guessing you have to remove the oem dampners in both cases, I hold my hand up to not being a suspension boff so I don't know the ins and outs!

 

[splatrat]

is there a guide on here on how to do it yourself?

 

[Toxic]

There is an excellent guide over at votex forums on a Golf Mk5 which is just about the same chassis as the Leon/Altea/Toledo setup.

[NickP]

I was charged £150+VAT at AmD including Laser 4 Wheel alignment

Snap I paid the same at JKM yesterday for fitting Eibach Pro and Koni FSD with 4 wheel laser alignment.

Hi
Yes we do it at £167.50 + VAT and that does include the geo check and adjust too
It is the same for springs and shockers , as you have to take them both off to replace one
So it does not matter what you are replacing
Hope that helps you?
