Boys, I've got myself a nice set of eibach springs and want to know who best to fit them.
Ford Dealer is quoting $350. Pedders $401 including wheel alignment. Seems steep, or am I dreaming? I thought Matt did the swap for about $200 something?????

Mr Eibach is a very nice fellow and the products from memory are from Germany? Why not call them?

I've decided to go with Pedders (St Kilda).
Gut feel, but talking to these guys on the phone, they seemed intelligent, interested, and will do a full suspension check prior to going to Oran Park. Plus I have a "knock" coming from the front suspension, so they'll sort that as well For the extra $50-$100 compared to the Ford Dealer, I figure I am dealing with suspension specialists, so fingers crossed they do a good job. Basically, I got a good vibe talking to them!

I would make my cousin do my lowered suspension. Only because he is my cousin and also my mechanic and does suspension repairs as a day job
