I've tried that, now she says she's nipping out to Asda and comes back with boutique bags
she's not that stupid then, you've done it now!
The height difference between front and rear ride height will make the car handle in significantly different ways. If the back is lower than the front it will make the back more stable but the front push on and under-steer. If the back is slightly higher than the front then the back end will feel like it wants to come round but the front will turn in quicker and have less tendency to under-steer.

The "experts" at awesome set it up. To me it looks level, but on the printout sheet the rear is like 2 or 3 mm higher. On i spirited drive before it did understeer a bit but it was wet and i was pushing it out a corner from a roundabout.

Take a note of the settings, mark the struts, and try different setting to see the difference it makes. That is for a trackday or the likes.
IM know im never going to track the car. But i am going back to awesome for something tomorow. I could ask them then.
Is it better to be nose down or level?
If nose down by how much difference?

Thanks, cant decide between JOMs or sportlines...
I might have to start using Vpower. Is there a noticeable difference to standard supermarket stuff? I have used it before on an old company car but didnt pay much attention as I wasnt paying for the fuel.
Had my Cupra R Diffuser fitted with a Longlife custom exhaust. Turbo noises are epic :-D.

Had some turd tailgating me in an octavia vrs this morning then undertook me, presumably to show off how much smoke comes out of the exhaust...
I'm making the assumption that your in the UK mainland somewhere. If that's the case then I'm surprised that people are able to speed at all, assuming that he exceeded the speed limit. I say this because I went to a wedding in Falkirk on the 600 bandit and found that progress wasn't quite as swift as it would be over here due to the speed camera every 100 yards.

Got AMD Essex to remap the Cupra at the weekend....
That's a nice healthy increase. Those engines seem to respond really well to remapping. Guts of 70 bhp and 70lbs ft or almost 100 Nm. Very nice.
Ordered one of these,

Plan is to do the back box delete myself seen as it was done so well before !!!
Then I'm not sure about getting these

Like the mk5 ones but it means I'd have to cut my door panels. So massive job with potentially big cost.

I would go front down by 10mm. The effects your looking for the road should be subtle. The slightly higher back end should aid turn in and limit understeer. If you brake hard and find the back end swinging about on you then back it off to 5 mm down at the front. Eibach springs give as lowering 30mm front and 20-25mm rear. I wouldn't go to low from the standard ride height either. My personal preferences is bumpy back roads and to low with mismatched damping can send you from one side of the road to the other.
It was Renfrew. Lovely place and I got froze going up some big mountain/hill on the way there. Then got lost and ended up in Glasgow and sought some directions in Tesco. Is it racially offensive or incorrect to apply the term yardy to a young black male hanging about at traffic lights that appears to be edging unnerving close to ones person. Well that happened in Glasgow, needless to say I didn't hang about to find out if he and his friends were said yardies or not. But Renfrew was a lovely place. The only thing that tainted the experience somewhat was the death of Robert Palmer.
