   Hey guys,
   
   Wanting to lower my Mk2 around 40-50mm.
   
   1) What springs should I get?
   2) What will they cost?
   3) How much will it cost to get all the work done?
   
   Any other info/tips much appreciated
   
   Dale.

   1) If you just want to buy springs and can't afford to budget for a full kit with dampers then 40mm Spax or 50mm Eibach would be your best option.
   
   2) Price for springs alone between £50-£70 posted depending where you look - would recommend www.kamracing.co.uk
   
   3) Labour can vary greatly, £100 mark is good so long as you do your homework and take it to somewhere thats reliable, and uses the correct method of lowering (Highly important)
   
   Hope that helps
