Tuning company - Bristol area

Post by Nickyboy » Sun May 12, 2013 7:30 pm

I have purchased a KW coilover lowering kit and some spacers for my S5. Spacers I can do myself but lowering kit I can't. Therefore can anybody recommend me a tuning company / decent garage in Bristol who could do this for me?

Yeah i got my 20's from them, they arranged for them to be machined to fit my RS direct from the manufacturer, imported and fitted them. Had some issues with my spacers so they popped round to a local engineering firm who sorted them for me there and then... very knowledgeable guys and happy to go the extra mile..

Thanks for that. Any idea what is a reasonable hourly rate? I always have brand new cars and hence haven't had work done before.

I'm currently awaiting a call back. I guess they are quite busy. If they don't call me back today I'll drop you a PM.

Thanks a lot.
