Paul M3 cutters / total Mcars does a lot of work in South London

otherwise Dips at Customs Cars in West London - he did mine and set up was perfect. Took it the ring 1 month later and couldnt believe how well the car handled for a tourer

Look up ETA motorsports. They done a shit load of work on my car and took barely anything for it. Very professional and tenacious won't let go until the jobs done properly. I live in Bromley and have got my next few bits of work booked in there :-)

I've had a few bits of work done by ETA, including install of my coilovers and although I wouldn't knock their expertise and think they're a decent pair of guys, I wouldn't go back after my last experience.

I won't go into it as I really don't want to knock anyone but the lack of communication and rushing of work led me to a lot of headaches.

I'd personally take it to TWG in Camberley, you might have a bit longer wait to get the car in there but the extra peace of mind with Will @ TWG is worth it.

what part of South London you in?

BMS in Leatherhead would be worth a call if you are on this side. (J9 M25)

Around £300 they said. Is this a normal price? Thought it would have been cheaper

£300 is rip of price.

It's an 1-1.5h job so can't be more than £100, plus wheel alignment witch cost £50 max.

Anything more it's rip of

you are not going to find any decent garage that will remove and then fit a new set of coilovers for £100, especially not in the south east, no way! £200-£250 you will be doing well.
