Help me plan my upgrade installs
Right, i just want everyones opinions on which way round i should do these....
The car needs a 90k service soon (and i want the stamp in the book), also needs new discs/pads, ive also got some new suspension to go on as well
To do the suspension you need to disconnect the brakes, so i might as well replace the fluid, in which case i might as well do the discs and pads too. But this gets done at service time, along with the cambelt and camseals (think thats right).
Do i:
A) Do the suspension/brake fluid myself (use some cheaper fluid and get the car serviced asap for the rest)
B) Get the garage to do it all
C) Get the car serviced (and get them to do the pads/discs if i supply them) then sort the suspension out/brake fluid afterwards
Arrggh i think its down to how rich i think i am at the time!
Want to do as much of it as possible myself but i want to try and get it done within 2 weeks, but someones nicked half of my dads tools just to make it even harder!

I didn't need to disconnect the brakes to change the suspension The brake lines are just attached to the strut with a clip (you might have to cut this off with a hacksaw).
Just remember to get the geometry done properly after the suspension has been fitted.
