i dont see why they would charge anymore to change the whole lot over as you have to take the lot to bits anyway. ok maybe another 5 minutes work to do the rear shocks too.

i guess. but u could probably buy a set of axle stands and a pair of spring compressors for less than the price of having it fitted. then ull always have em.

£75 cash for shocks and springs.

Told me to come back in 2.5 hours.

Dunoo how long it actually took them.

Be cheaper to use your haynes manual and get some spring compressors and do it with the help of a mate.

Wish I did that.
