   4xtreme, Crays Hill, Essex charge £150 to lower torsion bar and to fit springs but you will need to supply the springs. Seems to be about the going rate I think between £100-£150

   i got my springs from Spoox Motorsport in Leicester, Eibach 40mm they cost me £110, then got them fitted and rear torsion bar to match at Street Racers (also in leicester) for £120 so £230 all in including labour and VAT!

   Thats about right id say. Anything from £200 - £350 depending where you go ! some places want more than £400 just to do the rear axle ! Jokers or dreamers make your own mind up

    Well I'm a complete noob when it comes to cars, but thought it would be at least fun to have a go myself (what better way to learn then messing up! ) I will be giving it a go when I move out of this flat as there is nowhere to do anything!

    If you're a complete noob then don't you think you should start off with something smaller? other than attempting to lower your car, blatantly will go wrong lol - and for £150/200 (price dependant on what setup you go with) you could have it done properly for you.

    I fitted my front's not really knowing what I was doing but I'm reasonably good with tool and with the Haynes Max power manual, it was easy enough really cept for pulling one driveshaft out.
    We all have to learn somehow.

    Well, I thought if I had a go myself (like I say, what better way to learn than to do it ) then if anything did go wrong, go and get a professional to finish it off. Maybe I'm just dreaming
