   alright guys just wondering how much i should be looking at to get my VTR lowered around 40mm? how much is a reasonable price for a garage to fit new front springs and set the torsion bar to match?

   cheers lads, ill see if i can get his price down a bit or ask him to provide the springs. im not gonna bother with new shocks as im only going down 40mm, unless the ride is totally wank then i'll re-consider.

    do you reckon there is a massive difference in ride quality between just springs and shocks aswell? i mean like 150 odd quids worth of difference?

    I have some 40mm springs for sale
    
    I paid £120 to have mine lowered. Lowering kits/springs/shocks, etc... are all on top.
