How long would it take a decent workshop to fit a set of springs?Geea. Yes G man,they fit straight in, will give you 155 pound open & 54 shut, how long to fit them. Maybe half day, can be done whilst on the car. Goldie has his, chat to him & he'll keep you informed as to how longScotty CCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's the GT springs (like BCL has) that require head removal & machining work, the XR8 springs will do fine & are cheaper?Scotty CCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
