Hey guys im new to this forum altho have been browsing here for quite a while. Just picked my car up the other day but have already done a couple of mods. Just went to halfords today and got some lowering springs and asked the guy how much they would lower it and he just said 'dunno' then turned round. Should have not bothered buying them but there the only place that had them in stock so i did anyway and fitted them today. Think its only bout a 40mm drop tho. Anyway just a couple of pics. And yes im another one with speedlines!

Yeah i guess its who your delt with. But ive worked in other stores before and your told whenever you dont know something you should do your best to find out. Im sure they have a book which tells you how much there springs lower by so wouldn't have been to hard to find out.

corsaboy87, its a business most ppl like silly spoilers, lots of stickers etc aso halfords in the game of making money will sell what sells, they also sell mhw products and stuff, but it all has to be ordered in. i dont like some of the stuff halfords sell. but what the customer wants, is what the customer gets.

Thanks that would be good. I appreciate its not halfords fault if their staff deliver good service. However it is their fault they're so expensive!
