Suspension fitting NE England

B58_Touring · 02-27-2019, 03:49 AM

Can anyone recommend a reputable independent garage for installing a suspension kit in the north east?

It's a job I'd normally like to take on myself but at the moment there isn't the room in my garage so it'd mean finding a suitable day to mess about on the drive. By the time I buy a couple of specific tools that are required as well it's probably worth saving the hassle and dropping the car off for a garage to do.

Any recommendations greatly appreciated

Revolution Motorsport down near Dunston get Good reports. They popped some Eibach springs on for me and did a laser alignment. Happy with their prices and service

Thanks Craig, I have had a price from them for supply and fitting - they couldn't match the price of the kit from another supplier but I may still use them for fitting depending on how they compare price wise to others.

Revolution get my vote also, fitted ACS springs for me, very careful with the car too unlike many main dealers

Yeah, that's one of my concerns. Don't want to pick the car up and find scratches all over the wings/calipers etc.

+1 for Revolution. They are dealers for us - zero complaints.

Prestige German Cars in Jarrow seem to get good reviews

I had my springs fitted by Scott at Valley Motor Works. Apparently he used to work for BMW, no complaints from me. I then had the laser alignment done at Revolution

Thanks, how much did he charge can you remember? Just getting a few quotes at the minute

Thanks fella's Revolution seems to be the preferred choice in the area so I'll probably end up going with them. I'll get a couple of quotes to compare first though. I hate paying for things I'd normally do myself

Fast track on condercum road is a good garage but usually really busy. Ask for Steve hes a top bloke

Dean at DW Motorworks or Revoloution.

Rev did my H&R springs on the F31, did a great job and was reasonably priced.

Dean also fitted Bilsteins on my old E91 and a big brake kit at the same time, great job also!!

I can't remember to be honest. I remember thinking it was cheap though.
