H&R Lowering Springs - Do I have >1130kg front axle weight?

[Suffolk]

150 is correct! I know the owner, normal price would be 250. Goodyear auto care quoted me 280.

Wow that is cheap. I was quoted $400 by Pedders.

I got quoted 380 from pedders. I guess it depends on which state.

Ahh, a case of 'not what you know, but who you know'!

Pedders did mine, they must have got the alignment right as I have noticed no unusual tyre wear from the changed camber settings.

Does the camber change just with the replacement of the springs alone??

Yes anytime you mess with the suspension it's recommended to do an alignment otherwise you risk scrubbing out tyres.

So I got mine done the other day. H&R ~35mm drop. It seems a tad higher in the rear than the front, but I've noticed that on some of the other lowered Tigs.

The bellow is not my quote, but I believe in it and there is an advice in it, to those who always look for the cheapest price.

John Ruskin - Common law of business balance;

“There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person’s lawful prey. It’s unwise to pay too much, but it’s worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money — that is all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot — it can’t be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

Interesting quote. You would never see a statement like that on a show like Today Tonight/Current Affairs. Consumers don't want to hear that stuff.

Granted, there are some people that do charge the higher price and still deliver crap.
