think i know what you mean, i had the same issue when i lowered mind, was sealed solid, so ended up hacking it off and replacing it for £14 when i did it, not a hard job if you have all the tools in all honesty, £70 is a good price though, will take him about an hour or so

Got my car lowered, phew.

Originally quoted £70 providing no problems. However he had a few niggles on the front, and had a right fanny on with the back and had to replace both rear drop links. So cost me £150 all in all.

Looks sweet. Guess theyl drop even further once they settle in. Only seemed to have dropped ~30mm so far.

Only drove it home which took 5 minutes but felt good to drive, susprisingly more comfortable, and seemed good on the 3-4 roundabouts that i passed on my way.

Happy chappy.

Will get pics later hopefully! Just washed the car too as its really sunny.
