Lift the Disco?

<< < (4/5) > >>

Matt_H:
standard question when asking for a quote for anything to do with cars

"does that include everything?"
or
"does that include VAT, postage, other vague additions etc"?

if you don't it will be
£250 + postage fee + stocking fee + commission + fast delivery charge + non return of old unit surcharge + VAT

and... no that boat sailed yesterday.  Have had loads of enquiries about them too!

I only know of Old sodbury. Any other shows where I can get good deals? Would prefer to get new ones if poss.

seph234:
theres loads coming up billing etc just look in the  shows/play section,
  and it gives you time to save up for what you really want i have to admit if i bought  again id buy the scorpion  kit or old man emu.  joe

Ralph Hardwick:
I have a MM4x4 2" lift kit on my 300tdi.  The kit cosisted of 4 x Pro-comp shocks and 4 x Bearmach blue springs.  I fitted it about 18 months ago and paid about £270.

Be aware that there are two methods used to gain the lift: 1 is to use 2" longer springs the other is to use standard length springs with a higher poundage which dont compress so much.  The bearmach blue springs fall into the second category.  The down side to this method is the fact that the shocks allow more movement than the springs can cope with.  My rear springs were regularly dislocating on Stanage edge and Chapelgate in Derbyshire last year.  This is a real pain in the *rse.  It means you either have to fit dislocation cones or (as I have done) jubilee clip the top of the springs in place (which limits your articulation).

My disco also has had a list to the left for the last 8 months.  I intend to replace my springs later this year.  Probably with scorpion racing.  I intend to add a winch to the front so I want to be able to talk to someone about the type of ride I want, the kit I'm carrying and the above problems and get good advice.

If I were you Sheddy I would ask plenty of questions and not necessarily go for the cheap option.  I did and after 18 months I will end up paying out again.

At the same time I shall also extend my brake pipes which are stretched to their limit when fitting the new spings.

I hope this helps
