Rash, I think you have mentioned this before but could you tell me where you got your spacers from? Im getting new shocks/springs in June so might as well complete the look!

Ad Lav, Simon34: Are those 17" wheels? I see that tasty_kebab has 16"s. (As do I)

Am I right in thinking that it will not look as low as yours on a car with smaller wheels?

I took a pic tonight of mine and it really shows the gap between the wheels and the arch i was talking about earlier... (no laughing at the 5 doors! I have kids to fit in the back!!)

would a 20mm drop with 16" wheels even be noticeable?

I was wondering that too at first, until gazjones put a pic up showing how nicely his car sits on 16" wheels. check it out here http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=119082

Found out last night when my car was on the ramp that is has Spax lowering spring. I remember a few people thought the car was on coilovers.

Here are a few pics...It lost the buggy look too

Theres nowt wrong with 5 doors mate....

Before suspension on 16's

After

And before suspension on 17's

After

Sisson, Im running on 16s and I must say if urs sat as nicely as it did in the post-suspension pic then Im def convinced. ur 17s are pretty nice.

 

[Sisson]

Oh btw,

The car was on FK coilovers, the ones that Rash now has.

Its the only way to get the front and rear to sit perfect. It had loads more thread to go aswell..

Plus over time your shocks will knacker just having lowered springs, so i say go the whole hog, and get shocks and springs...

You can take them off and sell them when you change car anyway.

Just my £0.02 worth
