I'm sure it's been asked before but what should I expect to pay for parts and labour to get the S2 suspension up grade fitted to my S1?

well the S2 suspension kit is about £550 I think...and then 30mins per side maybe and then an hour or two set-up ....so £500 + 4-5 hours labour at £50 ...could be well under a grand at a little specialist ...or well over a grand at a dealer, depends on labour rate where you are frown

Very easy DIY job, then get the geo sorted which shouldn't cost much more than £200-£250 at an independant.

I fit my own then get it the geo done with a laser. That cost me the suspension, my time, and then £50 for the laser.

Agree that changing the suspension units is very easy...well, so long as you have decent tools in the event of rusted bolts. Just a case of whip off the bolts, slide new ones in, torque them up.

Bell and Colville were doing these kits for £450 delivered. Give them a call and then fit yourself. It really is very easy.

Fit them yourself, it's very easy. make sure you get a good geo after though at a specialist.
