I took my '03 blobeye STI for a service recently and the dealer pointed out to me (quite rightly) that the suspension was knocking and offered to fit a set of coilovers for £1,100.

I can get a new set of BC coilovers for about £650 (see http://www.dcperformance.co.uk/uprat...u/impreza.html) and I'm sure I can find someone to fit them for a lot less than £450.

My question is this. Do I need anything else other than the actual coilovers if I am going to take them to someone for fitting?

 

if you.can fit them yourself you would save even more, they really are easy to do, its only nuts and bolts after all. Then the only thing you would need someone for was the alignment. Or better option, come to me and I'll do it for alot less.

 

Thanks for the response Dave.

I would save more money doing it myself but I prefer to stick to things that won't kill me if I make a ****-up of doing it.

Thanks also for the offer but by the time I had driven from Yorkshire to Chatham (which I do know, I used to work for Lloyd's of London) I would have spent all my savings on petrol.
