CardiffSupra Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 I'v been told my hyeline proformace that i need to chance my shocks, They havnt been toutched since the car was made and are as stiff as shit, they priced me some teine superstreets with top mounts £650+vat with labour it comes to around £1140 wich is way out of my price range.... Anyone got some 2nd hand ones laying around? stock or after market for Jspec TT Thanx Gareth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milocoon Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Be careful Mate as so called experts can be wrong, if the suspension is stiff its NORMAL, if its soggy its knackered. I think I`ve covered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 they priced me some teine superstreets with top mounts £650+vat with labour it comes to around £1140 Holy Jesus £763.75 (fair enough UK prices) for the suspension but £376.25 for labour are they having a laugh? swapping a suspension is about 3 hours work? Have you tried Martin can he not do you a deal with fitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Jeez, for that price I'd go straight to Chris Wilson and hand him 1200 notes for his custom Bilstein set-up. That's shocks and fitting and VAT all in. *sighs then sings* If I were a rich man.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
