Lowering Spring fitment prices?

[James.B8]

I've just been quoted £216 to have some Eibach Sportlines fitted to my 2.0l fwd saloon if I supply the springs myself. This seems a bit pricey in comparison to what other people have had there's fitted for. Most posts I've seen have been around the £150 mark. Do you think £216 is over priced?

And has anyone got the Sportlines? If so do you recommend?

Thanks in advance,
James

I do quite a lot of Bmw Springs and charge £80, can crack them off in less than 2 hours,
Over the years I've done quite a few B5s and a couple of B6s and just done my own B8 a few weeks ago, it took me 3.5 hours to do the B8 and this is on my drive, so yes think £200+ is on the steep side £150 seems a lot more realistic

Also have the Sportlines and very happy with them I shaved my rear Spring mount to level the the car up

Yeah thought it seemed rather expensive. Cheers for the reply

Oh yeah I've seen them on your thread. Your car is looking great with them especially with the 20" rotors. I'm planning on getting some rotors too in the future.
Any trouble with rubbing or speed bumps?

Thanks James I have no problem over speed bumps but now I have added the spacers I do get slight rubbing,

Good to know! Think I'll try get them down on the price and order myself a set then. Cheers

Also there was a thread the other day where someone posted sportlines up through German eBay and they were really cheap, think just over £100 will see if I can find it

Just been quoted £218 from another garage in Bristol? Anyone know of anywhere cheaper in the Bristol/south west area?

Finally got a lower price! Getting them booked in now. Should be done by next week. £160 from a VAG specialist. He's got a nice b8 avant himself
