lowering springs - fitting

Looking to get some lowering srpings fitted at a local garage, how many hours labour can I expect to be charged for this?

Cheers,

Jake

you should look for an hour per corner max, though most garages should be able to do it in 2 or less

Anyone done a DIY for these?

Easy or Hard?

Set aside some time for alignment afterwards as well.

the fronts can be a pain, i would allow 4hrs in total to be safe.

DIY is possible but probably not reccommended
