Nearside front spring snapped in half yesterday (standard spring).
Here's what it cost to get both fronts replaced, was I done or was it generally about right? (not paid yet!)
2 x springs: £154
2 x drop links: £30
2 x tops: £60
2hrs Labour: £80
Total £324.

I've got some very clean and shiny standard GTi springs that have done 25k miles sat in my garage....could have bought my H&R springs for that much!
Costs aren't too bad...except for spring price but I guess they came from the Peugeot dealer.

I needed the car fixed so I wasn't in a position to be picky sadly, and I was not charged for the car being collected on the low loader (undriveable)

Are they those made in Sweden ones, and are they any good?

Made by Apex - I like them. They're not too firm, but not soft either. Don't have any issues with them at all, so would definitely recommend them
