i prefer the red seat sport strut brace for me as it matches the colour code im going for black and red still dont think it does noticable improving with the handling spacers was the best handling mod i put on my car

I think the Seat Sport strut brace makes a difference on 1.2's and 1.4's with the softer suspension setup

but when you have a cupra it prob makes very little difference

It looks good, thats all I think it does

what kind of spacers did you buy? isnt 20mm spacers putting too much strain on the bolts? or did you buy the other sort....dont know what they are called?

 

[rashcupra]

i got them off ebay they are hubcetric ones you have to whack them onto your standard rear wheel hub (to avoid uncentral and unballaced wheels) and buy some longer wheel bolts job done looks alot better to as when i lowered it on coilovers without the spacers the rear wheels where lost in the deep rear arches but now they are level witht the rear arches and makes it look lower and a bit wider from behind with the wider stance definatly best buy

[rashcupra]

[Rosco906]

Felt alot more solid.

Need to take it back off tomorrow for the control box. i put wires over strut brace, would be neater under

Also are the bonnet cables bad for sticking/stretching?

Just mines was, gave it a good work with wd40 as thought could have been the catch been seized.

coilovers made a huge diffrence obviously but rear spacers made a huge diffrence and how easy they are to install and how cheep they are and they make it look better (lower) was an A1 buy IMO
