   I need to get a few options together of when I can get my torsion bar adjusted, so far I have:
   
   Des Developments (Walsall) £140.
   
   Does anyone else have any recommendations around the midlands area?
   
   Thanks in advance.
   
   Steve

    140? Jesus, vtskid (on here) was going to fit me a full SPAX kit inc torsion bar for 50£!
    
    And alot of garages around here will do it for about 100£, or 70£ without the torsion bar.
    
    Just give you a rough idea. :Y:

    Just remember one thing Kids - Going for the cheapest option usually leads to cheaper quality and service
    
    Paying more may be a pain in the pocket (maybe your crotch as well..) but in the end should serve you better..

    I haveheard good things about the "cheapest" though my mate who is also a mechanic had recommended him before Bloz at the time I didn't realise it was the same person as his price was higher than what Bloz quoted./
    
    Hope that makes some sense.

    If they are doing a good job then thats all you can ask for really. Just dont want people to make the same mistake i made with my Saxo.

    Place in derby called repairgeot, there citreon/peugeot specialists in the modifying world, think they charged me £80 for the rear torsion bar, and it was an excellent service aswell.
