can anyone suggest a garage and supplier by richardshall on Mon Oct 25, 2010 11:29 pm
I am looking for a local garage near Rowley Regis / Dudley that does tracking, the cheapest i have found so far is £25 which was at john hall tyres oldbury. I have also been looking on ebay for a 2 inch lift kit for an A series, can anyone suggest anywhere that might be a bit cheaper :? ???. Thanks :D

£25 is a very good price, the cheapest I could find was £35 up here :wink:

Lift kits are not available as complete kits but look through the suspension section lots of tips and hints there :wink:

If I fixed mine I would be amazed, I have botched it for now as I am removing some of the suspension bits at a later date and just wanted it a bit better for now as not doing long journeys at the moment.

Personally for peace of mind I would get it done properly if you have not done it before, sites like this can give you an insight

But I was shown, but still not confident to have full faith in it, tyres cost a pretty penny or two so a little investment can save a lot of money :wink:

ste i think rich was asking how easy is it to do a suspension lift on his 2.4

it not an hard job to do mate if you get the bits i will help you do it i would suggest you get new bushes for the spring you can order them from milner's

and these are the type of lift shackles you need
