   I had mine done at M.I Automotive in Burslem (just behind the church accross from Ceramica). IIRC it was around £80 to drop the rear.

   I know that cobridge test centre will lower the rear but its £140 and my friend used to work there and he says not to go there for anything.

    If its your daily drive then its a no no to doing it yourself. Unless you can relinquish it for a weekend?
