Hey guys,
Got some 40mm springs for the pug and wanting to lower the front and back...
Anyone know anywhere in or around Cumbria that would do it for me on a budget? 
Also, do i need anything else apart from the springs to get it lowered, such as shocks? or are they not needed.
Cheers, Rach

you need uprated shocks for the front and the back. just springs for the front and the torsion bars adjusting at the back.
in future try a search as these topics are asked more frequently than anything else

it is kind of when there are people who do it for £100 but they are usually poeple working for themselves doing it kind of thing
where as your £200 is with a garage i bet so you would have a fall back if it was to go wrong at some point im guessing?
so its a case of which is better and also will you travel to get it done it probably works out about £140 with travel to get it done off someone :/

£200 including the torsion bar is a good and fair price in my opinion!

£200 quid in cumbria is fair enough, remember those back axles can be an a**e so to do full car is not bad!! i did enough of them when i was in the trade in cumbria so for a few hours graft its not bad
