Just been quoted £450 for parts and labour for Prodrive Spring Kit, + geo from local scooby garage. Does this sound reasonable?

 

Hi Gubbins,

I have just paid £339.58 for mine, parts, fitting, geometry etc. A.F. Nobles in Penicuik, Scotland.

That does NOT include my SIDC discount either! Argue for better,

Brian.

 

Cheers WXMania - is yours an STI? I can't understand the huge price difference - I've phoned 10 dealers around the midlands area and been consistently quoted £450ish for parts, labour and allignment. Some are also saying best to leave allignment for 1000 miles after fitting. Is this right?

Cheers

 

Gubbins,
have you tried TSL Motorsport in Nottingham ?
I've heard they are good at what they do and have heard good comments from other Subaru owners who have had work done there.

The wheel alignment by the dealer probably will not be as good as that done by a specialist.

I got the springs from Subaru (£200, I think), fitted them myself, and then spent £123 on the laser alignment at TSL - Absolutely stunning!! (and all for just £320).

I'm not sure about doing 1000 miles, but you should give the suspension a good workout to let everything settle.
