We're getting there....

Jim's here with some car parts, Excellent

said Craigs missus never

leeds_182 · May 4, 2017

They're on. As low as they'll go on the back and still scope to go Lower on the front. Won't be going lower though as I'm scrubbing like a scene hero already.

Looks awesome Jim, happy with how it rides?

Brookie. · May 5, 2017

Looks good Jim. Not sure if it's because it's not settled fully but the front looks to need raising a few mm and then it'll be spot on!

I'd argue it rides better than the standard suspension! Well happy with it.

Philip. · May 5, 2017

Looks really good! I have a proper soft spot for these.

The Psychedelic Socialist · May 5, 2017

Really like these too. I had the plain FR a few years back and it was a really solid car (barring a failed head gasket....):

Goodj · May 5, 2017

ooo, I appear to have a set of those too!

Every. Single. Expansion joint or road-crease, directly relayed into your spine.

Daz_RT_04 · May 5, 2017

If the front looked the same sort of height as the rear along with spacers, it'll look spotty dog imo.

_Tom · May 5, 2017

Really liking this now. Front does need to come up though.:laughing:

Oh and AP's really do ride great don't they..

Martin_172 · May 5, 2017

front needs to come up a bit but that looks great! I had AP's on my Twingo GT and they were fantastic for the money. much better than FK's I had used previously on Clios

also it would suit a smaller front plate like the 172/182s run!

Goodj · May 5, 2017

a bit of nose-down rake doesn't hurt... handling-wise.
Especially when you've got 90% of the total weight of the car over the front axle, the extra altitude at the rear should help with turn-in.

Spacers. Spacers are your next move sir.

_Tom · May 5, 2017

Oh it's got to be face down, ass up. Just when that settles it'll be too front biased.

naaaaaaaaaah, it's a VAG, anything to help it achieve something other than plough-ever-onwards under steer is a good thing.

Looks much better now, nice one! What mods are next ?

Roll cage first

leedsboy · May 5, 2017

Raise the front up a touch and that'll be bang on.

My only gripe when I had them on my A3 was that the rears didn't quite go low enough, but in hindsight I could have just removed the adjuster which I never realised at the time.

182_steve · May 7, 2017

That looks spot on :up:

leeds_182 · May 8, 2017

Few from today. Need to get the front wheel refurbed as it's doing my nut in.

imprezaworks · May 8, 2017

Much better with it being lowered. Looks a nice buy tbf

When doing the coilovers the other day we noticed that one of the cv boots was shagged. The other side also got accidentally hit with a hammer and got shagged as well so it was off to @craigyt s work for a small session on the cupra.
