Title: Suspension fitters in the East Mid's
Post by: snapey on July 04, 2009, 04:57:17 pm: Afternoon chaps,

My H&R springs arrived yesterday and I'm dying to get them on, can anyone recommend anyone around the East Midlands/ South Yorkshire area. The closest one to me that I tried was JBS and they quoted Ã‚Â£280 for fitting.

I'm not after a dirt cheap price just a fair one that means I'm going to get someone that'll do the job right.

Obviously including tracking, alignment and camber setting back up after.

Thanks, Luke

I'm Northants based and there's a few that are quite good, not sure on price though.

RGS Motorsport - Wellingborough
3d Motorsport - Brackley
Veil Tuning - Northampton
Elite Motor Tune - Northampton

Depending on where you're prepared to travel to, yell.com yourself some quotes and use the forum for recommendations :smiley:
TomB can probably advance on this.

I don't mind travelling to get a decent job done and it's more than likely be down to recommendations from here.

I'm sure sportstech are revo dealers if I remember correct, if so I've spoke to them before and they seem sound. I'll have to give them a ring on Monday for a quote and if it's all good get the revo trial at the same time :driver:

Post by: bacillus on July 04, 2009, 07:50:19 pm: Ok, sounds like a 4 wheel alignment is included in the cost. :happy2:

Post by: snapey on July 04, 2009, 07:53:56 pm: I'd hope it would be at that price :signLOL:

I'm sure the going rate for adjustment is about Ã‚Â£50 isn't it?

Post by: bacillus on July 04, 2009, 08:33:25 pm: Just looked on the Awesome site and they do Springs/Shocks + Shocks Replacement inc geo from Ã‚Â£167.50 plus vat so JBS seems overpriced. :confused:

Pete and Dave? I'm good mates with them and my dad sprays all their customers cars so I'll give them a tinker on Monday, Was only concerned about having everything in house and I know they haven't got any alignment kit but I'll take it to ETS or something after.
