hi all, see below for a bit of debate...seems like i coudl save £400 (or 30%) by not going to JZ..is "their" ste up really different? any thoughts appreciated...
thanks .i spoke to steve at jz and he said that the set up at sold at carnewal (see below...is "different" to the bilstein / hr set up that JZ sell (JZ set up have narrower collars and have been specially thought out for the needs of the 993 etc etc..)...
sounds a little suspicious to me for what was ensentially a c £400 difference...do you think there is valididity to his claim? or should i just buy the set up at carnewal and go to an idependant for fitting, then jz for alignment?
if i do go down this route, can you recco any independants in london for this? Thanks,
Mike

Mike,
No reason that they should'nt. That is what I did with the independant that I use.
Would ask them first, but if tey won't it is not a compicated job and there are plenty of imdependants who could fit them and then go to JZM for the alignment. Although I don't live near them had phoned them up to see what they would recommend and got the impression they wanted to flog there own stuff.
As they are charging almost double what you would pay from Carnewal, you can understand why!
The dampers come with fitting instructions and I know a few people who have done the job themselves as it is not difficult.
Whatever way you go it is the best mod for the car a the handling is transformed.
