Default Re: Anyone recommend a suspension specialist in the South East?

I have emailed MCTechnics about sorting the suspension on my Zed - let me know when you hear something as I sent it yesterday and have not had a response yet.

Heard loads and loads of great things about them.

Can I just ask, are you guys looking for setup, change or rebuilt to your own spec ?

Cheers Mark.

Once I'm mobile I could probably find time, it's only an afternoon job, although I haven't seen my spring compressor for sometime

nothing complicated in that lot, the only tricky thing is compressing the rear spring for removel, apart from that you'll only need basic tools.
