Went to a garage today to get a quote on fitting my springs, backbox and balancing my wheels. Anyway, i already got some -40mm Gmax springs, he said that i need 30mm springs because when i fit them the front wheels are going to rub... Im only on 15's

Also said its gonna cost me £100 for the job, sound about right?

He also said that if it rubs when there's 4 people in the car then it fails its MOT

I didn't know that when they MOT your car they get 4 fat blokes to sit in it!!
