    Well I'd never attempt it myself as I know people who do have car knowledge (even garages) where they have had problems in lowering the rear. If you don't mind the dragster look, then go for it
    
    £300 to have your car lowered? Erhhh, you're being robbed. I paid £120 to have mine lowered. It took them about three hours to do.
