   roughly? decent springs maybe 80 quid?
   
   no iea what they do about the torsion bar though.
   
   can you fill me in please?
   
   the main problem im having is banging and cluttering at the back wheels and im pretty much certain its suspension related. so im gonna lower it to see if that helps. plus it needs lowering

   really? i just dont know how you get the balancing right though. suppose my cuz could do it for me. as for the banging, do you think thats hwat it could be? its when i go over bumps or anything on the road. a kinda squeeky bang kinda thing.

    Just get a tin if that tyre weld stuff. Doesnt cost much and im sure if i remember rightly it allows you to travel 50miles or so- which is more than adequate to get you home to your spare or to a tyre fitting place if you're miles away from home.

    I paid £205 for front springs, front and back dampers.
    Then i paid £150 for it to be fitted and torsion bar adjusted to match.
