Lowering springs/ new bolts?

[Ronnie Remo]

Hi,
Just spoke with my local dealer about fitting the 30mm lowering springs and they said I need some new bolts and bits so the prices stated online are incorrect and it will be more like £560 to fit them. He said they are torque stretch bolts and I will need 4 wheel alignment done afterwards as well.
Anyone else heard this?
Thanks

Four wheel alignment is defo recommended after lowering, if it goes out you will scrub tyres in no time, I didn't get mine done after fitting springs and fronts only lasted about 5-6k miles

Same here i asked when mine got installed and he said it doesnt need doing what a waste of tyres, get my tracking checked reg now

@Ronnie Remo I had new stretch bolts fitted as advised when the Bilstein kit went on

I didn't fit new stretch bolts when I fitted the bilsteins. 20k later no problem. The dealer has to cover their ass hence new bolts. Wheel alignment is a must after lowering.
