service woe!

[lakey83]

Ive just had my LCR210 back from the garage after a full service with the following problems, the garage have quoted me individual prices for the work, i just wanted a second opinion from some of you guys on these prices

Top mounts - £80
roll bar - £185
coil spring - £90
axle bushes - £150
wish bones - £70
front brakes disc and pads - £380
rear brakes disc and pads - £150

For them kind of prices I'd upgrade.
Top mounts seem about right, roll bar you can either go for a Neuspeed or look for a 2nd hand original.
Axle bushes you can upgrade to Powerflex items. Discs and Pads you might as well speak to Bill and go for a DS2500 and grooved disc setup. If it's all needed then at least it's upgrades.

Not sure on the other prices.

 

[james walker]

are all the above prices fitted?

if so probably right tbh, if not definatly upgrade for less....

 

[Pabs]

whats wrong with the roll bar? Has it snapped? If it's just bushes those can be replaced.

 

[lakey83]

It had a rear end bump so its snapped i think, who is bill? everyone keeps tellin me to get parts from him but i dont know who he is or where to find him?

Bill has the badger 5 section on here

 

[Hilla LCR]

Badger5 in the forum sponsers section

 

[Ronin225]

Oh and LCRs dont have a rear anti roll bar standard so unless you installed one they must mean the front.
If so rebush or upgrade to an R32 bar 21/23mm

Sounds about right for a fitted price. Mine needs nearly the same but just wishbone bushes and Top mounts so im going to fit a new spring and damper kit while im there, uprated anti roll bars and the original bushes as it saves time and money. Discs and pads can be had from badger 5 - bill mine was about 96 for pads and just over a 100 for standard ebc discs - definitely better braking and worth it.

Hi Mate,

Bear in mind you should change springs in pairs and not individually.

Prices look ok for fitted. Just upgraded my front discs and pads and it cost me about £320 parts alone!

I fitted them myself though.......easy
