Anyone Local willing to chop my springs for ££

[SmokeEm]

I would like one coil lopped off all round on my CL500 Mercedes but the only guy I know willing to do it has the mother of all speed bumps outside his property so not ideal. I believe that extra heavy duty spring compressors are required also.

Willing to pay cash obviously.

Aldershot/Farnham area.

I don't think the speedbump will even come into play if it's just one coil. In fact I'm not sure you'll even notice much difference.

Trust me, it would. Even my Mrs daily Accord which is bog stock scrapes like hell. As for only one coil, I am told that it would be about 35mm lower? I would probably go 1.5 coils as I would like 50mm+ ideally.

Then the discs then the jack then the internal spring compressors then any other tools the gain access to said springs.....

OP is simply asking a reasonable Q no need for smart comments....

If you do decide to DIY it, I hire out the proper spring compressors

I know you do sir but due to my disability, I wouldn't be able to do it myself. I am prepared to buy a set for someone to use on mine and I could then do a similar service to yours but down South.
