I'm pleased to say that I just received a set of PSS9 coilovers for my car today. Now have to get them fitted...
Does anyone know how long they take to fit and how much I can expect to pay for fitting? I phoned MRC and they quoted me 6 hours which I thought seemed a little steep?
I am based in Herts, can anyone recommend a place in the South East that will fit for a reasonable fee, whilst doing a good job?
Cheers,
Mart.
Bilstein PSS9 fitting time/cost?
RE: Bilstein PSS9 fitting time/cost?
Mines and RS4 but took about 3-4 hrs and cost £200 to fit. Also spend £120 on various mounts, bearings and new bolts to do the job right. Alignment was £150.

6 hours is steep?
Not done them myself but if i ever do finally get an rs6 and have a blast myself i will be looking to put a day to one side.
Have you looked at the fitting guide in the 'sticky' section? This should help you appriciate the time scale

It's no more difficult than a standard A6. I know cos I fitted mine myself.

.Ceveman- 6 hours doesn't sound too bad now heh.
if you have a bit of go about you why not try it yourself. Get a friend to come and give you a lift and i suppose it could be done in a day if you start early. Could save around £300, just watch those fingers!
