Just had my suspension pumped up by Pete the local ex MGR mechanic (if you're from the Woking area).
Bob remarking that I'd had my car lowered at the red Eye Run , plus the continual scraping of the under tray on the pavement at the end of my driveway persuaded me to finally get it done. It was down to 335mm and has now been pumped up to 355mm which nicely clears my driveway, straightens the back wheels up and no longer bangs on the bump stops when I go over bumps at more than 10mph !
Bargain at £30 and loads cheaper than Trident (Who currently charge around £80 !!)

Tim
I only paid £17.00 earlier this year at a local garage to work but it is on the Wirral so maybe a bit far to drive to have saved a couple of quid.

Took my car for two new rear shoes which showed some inner wear so off to JR Autos at Bidford (ex Edwards of Stratford) for a pump up and alignment. Pumping £21 + and Alignment £65 +. Bit high but when can you do it ??. That is full 4 wheel alignment ?? No, that is only for the front. If you want all 4 wheels, then you need a full Geometric Check costing £110 +. Good Bye !! Techspeed will fit me in on Monday. Geoff F.

Wirral's a little far and I needed this before we went to Italy !!
I reckon £30 is no too bad and he comes to your house to do it !
