Chaps / Chapess'es,

Whilst I was in Fraud this morning I asked for the price of the eibach kit...

£122 - Which is quite obviously attractive...

Then fitting

£229 - Not so much.

that figure for fitting completely cancelled out the idea for me, am I right in thinking this is daylight rape?

Any suggestions of whereelse I could go (Essex area) where it wont be so steep?

And no I cant/wont do it myself

Much Love.
