I don't understand this, you have to remove BOTH bars from the axle to lower the back (drivers and passengers side).

If you go to someone on here or someone who does it by themself they will probably want £40-£80 but if you go to a garage expect to pay way over £100 just for the rear.

Yes and no

The only reason i put the battery in the boot is due to the battery i need for the sound system (NSB 90) was too big for the front

And weighs a complete ton (38.6kg) Laughing

Less you know welding and how much drag the system takes, its a fair share of work

And its charged from the engine, as booming takes alot of strain out of everything
