 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to see Sean about a concern I had with some leaf springs in a 4x4, Sean actually spent sometime with me talking about the suspension set up and I really appreciated that, he worked out what I wanted to achieve, he really thought about what to do rather then just offer a generic off the shelf solution, came up with a plan, booked it in and got it done.
The car has honestly never felt better to drive.
Thank you,
The service you guys provide is absolutely amazing, I'm very happy with the results.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Spicers do a GVM spring and shocker  upgrade to my Mercedes sprinter 4x4 camper van. Rear spring upgrade and shocks front & back. The improvement to the ride and handling is definitely noticeable and well worthwhile. It also got rid of the back end sag common on most Sprinter camper conversions. I was really happy with the professionalism and product expertise of the team at Spicers. It was a little more expensive than some of the other spring upgrade options available but I think it was worth the extra price for what is clearly a superior spring and damper set up than some of the others on the market.
