   depends how he's going to sort it out,properly around 70 quid, by notches it'll cost you about 400 because it'll shag the axle in next to no time

   Axle Specialists near where I live do the rear for £100 the proper way by taking the beam apart.
   If the beam's fucked then they can refurb them for £250 which includes free lowering as when they refurb them the beam's in bits anyway.

    I got stung at £280 for a full beam replacement and a 40mm drop
    Safe to say that garage won't be touching my saxo again!
    I've had to sort the 'ping' noise because they didn't notice the arb end plates coming loose :@
