#1: well priced or not? Author: marc206, Location: Bourne, LincsPosted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 12:56 pm ---- Hey guys. Emailed Pug1Off earlier today to see about some prices as I'm thinking of getting the car lowered sometime this year and got a price list back and was wondering if you guys think its a fair price.
Thoughts?

Oh f*****g hell lol. Best start looking somewhere and make a few phone calls
What springs and dampers have you got on at the mo, because those Bilstein dampers aren't cheap

I don't. I have coilovers.
What coilovers and how low on rear?
#12: Re: well priced or not? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:08 pm ---- Janspeed. There is a coilover review thread somewhere. However, if I was doing it again I would use springs. As unless on Track or constantly changing the height, coilovers are wasted.
Rear - about 50mm originally. Then my axle went boom (Nearly 12 years old) and I haven't re-lowered it yet, so still at standard GTi height.
#13: Re: well priced or not? Author: Mikey2uk, Location: StevenagePosted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:09 pm ---- Thats expensive, springs and lower the rear £90 same guy as Meady and Jimjam.
If you fancy the journey and it would be worth it go to KrisB top guy
#14: Re: well priced or not? Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 2:45 pm ---- I wouldn't lower the rear of a 206 for less than £90 and I don't have to make a living out of it.
#15: Re: well priced or not? Author: spike_202, Location: West midsPosted: Thu Mar 29, 2012 4:02 pm ---- i dont think thats bad at all 2bf thats to take off your front struts and fit springs put them back on then lower the rear good couple hrs work and i rate PUG1OFF very highely as i had all my work done there and im very pleased with my project
