   That's just the price of lowering. Springs or a suspension kit are on top, which you have to pay for.
   
   You can pick up some 40mm springs for around £50. So you could have your car lowered 40mm for around £170.
   
   Or... if you want to lower your car more than 40mm, then look at getting a suspension kit. These usually start from around £200.

   Na I think 40 should be perfect...
   
   So I can keep the current dampeners if I'm only lowering it 40mm, is that right?
   
   So do you know what make they will be?

    Oh right do you think they will supply the springs or will I have to get my own?
    
    Might have a look at some anyway, any makes recommended?

    You don't have to replace the current shocks/dampers if you're only going down 40mm but it is adviseable if you were to go down anymore.
    
    Motowize do not supply the springs. They only carry out the labour. You can pick up a set of springs from loads of different places. The best places to try first would be G.S.Motorsport and 2modified. They're both Sax-p partners and so I'm sure they'll be able to sort you a good deal.
    
    Some makes to look at could be PI, Spax, Bilstein (can be expensive). It really depends how deep your wallet is mate.
    
    However, I did pick up some 40mm springs from Edge Performance in Ash Vale if that's any help. They may have to order them in but they're probably the most local retailer to you.

    Yeh I went in there for a quote for lowering and they were saying £215!
    But thanks a lot really appreciate the help...
    
    Ok 2 more questions and that will be it:
    
    How long will it take?
    &
    How will they relocate the powering steering feed tube?
    
    Make that 3...Will these do?
    
    Clickem
    
    Thanks again

    Ummm... they should charge you around £120 mate. Tell them Damian with the black Saxo sent you his way.
    
    Answers to your questions.
    
    1. It shouldn't take any longer than four hours.
    
    2. You only need to re-locate/move the power steering tube if you have a VTS, but it's not essential (as I didn't need to on mine). It's something that's usually considered if going down more than 40mm.
    
    3. If you have a Saxo 1.0, 1.1, 1.4 or Diesel, then those 40mm PI springs are fine.
