    lower my car. I've bought a Bilstein B8 kit for my 02' VTR and was hoping to find someone fully qualified who can do the front springs and dampers and rear dampers and torsion bar (the proper way!!! haha! not splines!!!!)
    I'm prepared to travel a reasonable distance and have money waiting, I'm in Farnham (GU9 postcode)
    Thanks in advance for any replies,
    James

    Yeah i had fun getting out of wrecclesham last night because of the fireworks at bat & ball, escaped back to kent thankfully lol

    If you're not in a rush i can sort it in a few months?! Done 30+ torsion bar jobs and somewhere in the region of 50+ front suspension swaps...

    True, but it's more for peace of mind that someone trained to do it would do the job if you get me? I mean suspension is quite an important thing and the last thing I want is for something to not be done right!! Not saying that someone at home couldn't do the same job, just want to make sure it's done properly.. hope that makes sense!!
