Fitting lowered springs around Edinburgh area?

Hi, just been quoted £330 to fit Eibach springs and includes 4 wheel alignment at Autohaus Edinburgh. Seems like a decent enough quote but wondering if anyone else has had any better quotes around Edinburgh/Midlothian/East Lothian area and did a good job obviously?

Many thanks.

I paid £280 (exc. vat) for fitting and alignment at Kenneth Brown in Hillington. Maybe a bit far for you to go, but your price seems ballpark.

Cheers for that, I have no reference point for the work but I thought that would be about average, maybe slightly better given they will do the alignment too. Ta.

Hi. Price sounds about right.
I can’t recommend a place but avoid Keith Elgin in morngside as they charge for work that they haven’t carried out.
I’ve heard good things about the Village on Queensferry Road but not used them myself.

It cost me £270 to get my Birds B3 Springs,dampers and Hunter 4 wheel alignment done back in November last year as well. But Davey does all the suspension work and knows his stuff.

Sounds reasonable to me, paid about that for my ACS with a 4 wheel hunter alignment
