So my next little indulgence shall be a flexi pipe and lowering springs. I'm going Mongoose and Eibach here. I haven't the foggiest how to fit either of them so need some advice on if it's feasible to do myself/with some help or if I should get a garage to do them, where I can get them fitted and how much it might cost. People, I demand your help

the flexi is only 4 bolts but can be hard to get to and also the bolts could be hard to undo. the springs are pretty easy too i did my own and have now done 2 fiesta ST's a focus ST and a seat leon

Want to come fit them for me then?  I do have a friend who might be able to help, but otherwise it will be going to a garage.

A garage shouldn't charge more than £100 to do both jobs, fairly easy for a competant mechanic.

If you change the flexi yourself then i recommend you buy some spare manifold bolts as i sheared mine off, there just hammer out with a driftrom underneath!
Piece of piss to change apart from that.

Thanks for that. Will have a read through it  Has anyone fitted these with an aftermarket exhaust? I take it there isn't any issue with clearance, as it's only being lowered 30/35mm?
