The forums will be offline for maintenance on Friday 15th November at 10pm for up to an hour. Thank you for your patience.
Pics as promised.
The kit
Standard rear springs Vs shorter springs as part of the kit
Rear setup on
Front setup on
Seat Sport front strut brace
Some general pics
I'm still not sure about the ride height as yet.
Rears are wound right down and fronts have about 30-35mm left to go.

Yea, I know they will settle and drop a little more but I might bring it up a little.
Handling has transformed now
Coilovers, Whiteline rear ARB and Seat Sport front strut brace = nearly no under steer, much sharper turn in and very little body roll.

well impressed![[B)]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/shades.gif "Cool [B)]")
And it does mate
Just need them to settle foe a few weeks then get tracking and camber set.
Not sure I would go as far as getting the Forge rear strut brace mate, its stiff enough for me at the min.
Looks awsome i need to spend some money on my car!! What kit did you go for? Got a hold of a strutbrace today so i think i might raid my piggy bank and see if i scrape together some money for coilovers!!

Legend!! piggy bank will be getting broken tonight!!
ive been looking for ages to buy but i keep on getting put of by some kits that dont come with the shorter droplinks!!
You do need the shorter droplinks too mate. I measured them againset standard ones and they are ~100mm shorter. If you order before 12pm from DPM Damian will prob get them to you the next day
Make sure you get some new topmount bearings too mate. I did and I'm glad I did. The ones I removed had done ~36k and were at the end of they life. Got them from David@SERE Motors off here at about £8 each http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=249.

yeah your prob right...better off doing it now than having to through it all again....and for the sake of 20 odd quid!!!
This may sound like a stupid question....but i have always got a garage to do my suspension work (bit scared of springs lol) but would the drop links only fit the V-max set up??
Not sure if the droplinks would fit any other setup mate, it could do though.
If your scared of springs then get some new top mounts too (there only £20 delivered for a set from SERE Motors), then you just put everything togeather first then you just drop old out and slid new in.
The rears are very easy to do, prob only 45 mins and no spring clamps neaded.

Well the plan i was going to work on the rear shock and my mate was going to do the fronts. (being a mechanic he better not be scared of springs)
Think im just going to go for the V-max ones like you have got! cheers again... will update my readers ride once i get them ordered!!
