Dr.Pepper 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I asked AMD for a quote for a re-chip, and new suspension.They quoted me £350+VAT for the re-chip.£379+VAT for Koni dampers£135+VAT for Eibach or H&R springsand £240+VAT to fit them and do the wheel alignment.Seems a lot to me.I've heard AMD are pretty good(any opinions?) and I've no problem paying them to do the work.I'm not too keen if the parts are over-priced though....Has anyone else paid for a re-chip recently, and for koni dampers with H&R springs? How much did you pay ?Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 AMD have a bit of a reputation for overstating performance gains from their chips, and apparently have a very optimistic rolling road.I got quoted about half that amount for a chip from Star Performance up in Scotland, I'd imagine the power gains would be very similar.You're looking at £603.95 for your suspension, you can get a set of HK Konigsport coilovers for that money. Any competant garage would be able to fit them in no more than 2 hours. My local tyre garage does laser wheel alignment for £25 inc VAT.I think you can get a lot more for your money by shopping around. Link to post Share on other sites
stuey 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I got my Koni's from Demon tweeks, fronts were about £100 each and about £55 for the rears. I got my Eibach springs from Elite, about £120. It does seem a bit pricey, try shopping around Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 although they do proper 4 wheel/camber adjustment (which would be very cheap at £25+vat) price of all that is well expensive.Remap price isnt too bad and I was happy with the results whne I had my gti remapped there Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 iv heard that they r creative with the figures its stealth all the way for me Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Those dampers seem too expensive to me, have a look on motorsport world website. Eibachs are roughly right but would expect to pay more like £130 ish inc vat, so slighlty cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 Almost £300 to fit some suspension is bordering on extortion come to think of it. Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 you can get the springs from Venom for about £115. What you should do is get quote from Venom then ring Motorsport and tell them what price Venom are doing them for and they should beat the price by about £5 .its not lot, but it's an extra fiver of juice.Well thats what i did Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 extra fiver of juice thats about 25 miles then lol Link to post Share on other sites
