lowering prices

[daveyj]

hi again questions questions questions!!!! how much would it cost me to lower my 1.4 8v . if i brought springs to lower my 206 by 40mm what will ibe looking at for the springs to be fitted and the rear to be dropped as well just wondered what people have paid in the past to have theres done thanks. ;D

I got springs fitted and torsion bar lowered for £150 (not including the price of the springs)

how much u thinking of lowering your car?

if its just springs, then it shouldnt cost too much for labour to fit the springs......

.....now good springs would be someting like eibach, these are the daddies of springs but also cost the most.......think about £85-100, dependent on where u buy from.......try this website....http://www.motorsportworld.co.uk/

if ur gona lower it excessively then i suggest getting new shocks too.............or even maybe a complete suspension kit, koni (a very good brand for shocks) do one for £336.00 at www.larkspeed.com/

labour will be about £100.00 - £150.00, depending on where you are based......and that estimate inc rear torsion bar too.

i was thinking of just using springs and lowering a max of 40mm nothing crazy its just that i just got my new alloys fitted (16") and would like to make them fit a little bit more snug as the rear of my car looks rather high to me ?

i am in the same situation as u dave, i also have 16s but am putting off lowering for the next 7 weeks as i am at uni and am sitting me final year exams.

dont just get cheap springs coz they are cheap, they are cheap for a reason....spend as much money as u can to get some decent springs.

what about g-max springs ?my mate at work got an old dog of a golf gti and he put g-max on there and goes on about them alday long but i think they only cost about £50 but i will see how much the eibach ones will cost anywhere on the net good for prices on these?

g-max are ok, but not great.........try the links i gave u in previous posts for eibachs springs.

went on motorsport site and the eilbach springs were about £75 for sport ones and £94 for normal ones??? what the difference was i dont know maybe one lowers the car more than the other??

[chi_chee]

i think one is pro-kit and this is the better option, tho does cost more......

Go for either eibach or koni mate!! Dont use and other make as these are not as good (unless you get Bilstien)!!

I am after a GTi soon and will be lowering it with a combination of eibach springs and koni dampers!! From what I have heard on here thats one of the best setups for the 206!!

175 including the springs a company called top gear will do it for u mate they got branches all over the country

So what make is that - and is that springs and lowered torsion bar?

[Jimmy]

yeah springs and torsion bar, the make's jamex but my mate has it and there actually really good and it hugs the road amazingly and it's on a 206 there a cool red colour to

I got g-max -40mm springs and it cost £160 for supply and fitting springs and lowering torsion bar from aldon automotive. They were the cheapest quote
