I've just purchased some Eibach springs for my ed30.
I cant wait to get them fitted , however I have just been quoted £180 all in. I was'nt expecting this much.
Is this the going rate , or would it pay me to shop around or maybe supply someone here some beer tokens to help me fit them?
I'm based in southampton :smiley:

Exactly what I paid mate.
£150-£200 is about right :happy2:
-
Does that include the geometry setup after the install?
Mine didn't :booty: Cost me another £60. :sad1:
I'm not 100% sure if it needs doing, but in theory dropping the car 40ish mm is going to change allsorts of things that need setting back up for the new ride height.
:happy2:

Depends on the labour rate as it's only a two hour job for a competent mechanic. Sounds a bit high to me. I'd be looking to pay £100 max!

£100 is roughly what I was expecting.

I didn't ask , but I would like to think this would be included in the price as i'm sure a proper set up would need doing.

Just been quoted £90 for fitting and £45 for full alignment which seems to be about right.
-
That's a really good price, you'd have no chance of that price in London.
I would definitely recommend the 4 wheel geometry and not just standard tracking, it never turns out right!
-
Sounds about right £100-£125. I would flatly refuse to pay anymore. No more than 2 hrs labour. It would be cheaper to go out and buy the correct tools for the job and do it yourself than pay what you have been quoted.
-
how have people got on with the 4 wheel alignment? Ive just had mine done, but i have more camber on one side than the other and im told it cant be adjusted? i have a lot of caster 8.something, but have just fitted walk
cheers

I am going to ring around a few more places to get a better idea.
Cheers for the input guys :wink:

I paid £130 cash to have my H&Rs fitted. This included alignment.
Wish I had the skills/balls to do these jobs myself!

It was JKM who quoted me this price. I would be happy to give them the job as I know there quality reputation. But I will contact alex to see what he says :happy2:
