chrishill 0 Posted December 16, 2003 i know this has probably been covered a million times before but... I'm looking at suspension options, and i think coilovers are going to be the way to go, given that the biggest drop on springs/dampers is about 40mm and to me thats just not low enough on 17's! Not looking to spend a fortune, around the £500 mark, so whats good and what should i avoid? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Mate, from what I got told by them, Kwikfit don't fit parts supplied by a customer.. incase the part goes wrong they don't want to take responsibilty! :roll: A local garage or mechanic can fit a set of shock/springs in a few hours, as long as the nuts aren't too rusted up :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
