So long as you keep the original parts you replaced, then yes of course.

ujust had mine lowered today, man what a hastle! was originally told springs wld cost about Â£60 and fitting about Â£60. ok. then was told if im dropping it 60mm ill need to uprate the shocks as well, so the kit cost Â£140 (cheap nasty phil j kit). But now of course the fittings gone up to Â£100. but now my tracking and camber are way out, and the "about Â£40" i was told is actually Â£85 because normal tracking isnt good enough i should get really pro tracking done at a garage with a top reputation. Normally i wld have done it on the cheap, but being a cheap suspenion kit i reckon i ourta sort out the wheels properly. Oh and it squeaks and is bumpy...

BUT IT LOOKS SO DAMN GOOD! LOWER YOUR CAR! IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY AND HASTLE! LOOKS AMAZING!

Where the hell did you get it fitted and get the tracking etc done

My KW Coilovers = Â£50 fitting (1 hours labour) at VAG Tech

4 Wheel Laser Alignment on proper VW rig = Â£50 at Automotive Performance Services ( http://www.autops.co.uk/ )

And I don't just let anybody work on the car, they've all been top places.

got it fitted at my local place Â£100 for three hours work isnt too bad tbh, plus it was cheaper than a few other places i got quoted at. The tracking and camber is costing Â£80 because theyre the only place near here that can do ti properly for lowered cars. well... thats using a computer so it must be good lol
