Glad to hear that the car is still running well, and that you're moving forward with it Mark. These cars look and drive so much better when they're a little lower. Nice touch on the AUX. Is that from a Mk2?

Not sure I will be running it that low with the RS4 Reps on.

Just had a read of this, I think I will give this a go as a have a knock both sides, pretty sure it's the track rods where I left the rack hanging on them for like 4 days lol! I've been wanting to get rid of the powerflex cupra r top mounts too so this is the perfect oppertunity! Cheers Mark!

Mark your thread is a fantastic read, I have just bought a TDi FR and have found this thread a great help I'm going to be lowering the car on coilovers and in the near future will be bringing the lean down the Bill aka badger5 as he done a great job on my Audi. I'm based in Swansea so hope to meet up with you and Andrew in the near future at a local meet

Thanks guys - so far so good with the coil-overs not too harsh a ride. Mostly been just adding fuel and mileage to the car recently.

Been spending most of my time and money of my road bike getting ready for summer ;)

I've never liked the RS4 wheels on a Leon, a Golf or Bora I prefer, but these are looking better now they're all polished up! Not really a fan of the centre caps either, didn't ever get round to making the 'S' badges haha?

abandoned installing front coilovers this morning due to lack of 18mm impact socket - could not free the hub carrier from the leg :(

refitted the star fish alloys for now though so the winters can come off
