Kyle / Gti180boy comes very highly rated by many members on here, so much so i think there's a long waiting list. Worth a try anyway and not to far away from you.

Kyle (gti180boy) did mine.

He has the workshop, the tools, the facilities, the experience, and gives receipts.

I had my previous car lowered by an idiot off the forum - it ended-up having a complete new rear suspension at Peugeot (£1600).

With Kyle you are guaranteed top service. That is priceless!

I know Matt lol. Wink
Just letting people know about my lowering experience LOL

And for £50 it isn't expensive for someone else to do.

Not everyone is a mechanic Wink

£50 is not bad if you really are unsure or not into some smechanics.


I'm no mechanic im a floor layer but I don't mind having a go a most stuff my self, Smile

Once you work out basics on how they work, it's not too bad tbh. I don't blame people if they would soon pay someone tho thinking about it.
