Just had a quote of my local subaru dealer for fitting my new BC coilovers and new brake disks and pads. Coilovers £25 per corner disks and pads £10 per corner. Happy days

or do it urself for free. suspension = 5 bolts. disks & pads = 2 bolts... per corner.

thats 150 quid for undoing then doing up 28 bolts.... Thats £5.36 for each bolt..

I take it in that price they are not going to do a fll alignment on the new suspension? As that usually costs about 125 quid on its own..?

I think thats personally a total steal. Most Dealers or Tuners would work on 3-4 Hours labour to do the Coilovers and another 1-2 to do the Discs. Add to that £80-£120 to do the Geometry and your well into £250-£300

it will prolly take you longer to drive there, do the paperwork and leave than to do it yourself.

1-2 hours to do disks!! You gotta be joking....Take wheel off, undo two caliper bolts, pull of disk, put on disk, put in 2 caliper bolts, put on wheel.

that 150 quid could do on something to make it faster eh

cmooooon its fun too!
