   Was wondering how much people payed to get a suspension kit fitted (shocks and springs)?
   
   I need to know so i can decide if its worth me buying a whole kit or just springs.
   
   The thing is I want to go down 60mm but if the kit costs too much to fit I might have to only go 40 or 50mm on just springs.
   
   I have heard horror stories of people fitting 60mm springs without uprated shocks!
   
   Also if anyone knows of a place to get it done in the South west?!!!
   
   Cheers, Matt

   I paid £40.. but the guy's a legend, and this kind of work that I give him to do is a nice break from his usual (carburetor work on older cars).
