Looks better with the coilovers Aimez, just needs to go much lower when you have the ARB sorted! Looks like a similar drop to mine, and I'm only running springs. Get it slammed...

well as long as you decent roads round your way then you will be fine but I am fed up of 40 profile tyres now tbh repaired one wheel and new tyres and re powder coated in Jan after hitting a pothole and now may have to do it again. You can't have higher profile on 17 or they will rub they rub on full lock on standard suspension anyway.
Looks good lowered. Out of interest do you know how many mm it has lowered it front and back? I'm getting mine lowered 35mm with H&R springs the week after next 
.
I can sympathize with you on the 17s with 205/40 tyres, I have the same they look great.. but sooo easily kerbed on well... kerbs![[:@]](/forums/styles/seatcupra/oldforumsmileys/furious.gif "Furious [:@]")
and potholes 
. I'm getting quite good at fixing them now, but its a pain.

Sorry dunno how many mm exactly will lower it more anyway after sorting out this bloody ARB. Will sort the wheel issue out at a later date they will just have to look crap for a while!
Lol I don't even know how you lower them more will have to have a look!

for lowering coilovers, it isn't too hard tbh
if you take the wheel off, and look at the shock strut, you will see the springs sitting on top of some "locking nuts"
so you use the "c-spanner" you must of got with the kit, then twist them in opposite directions to loosen the lower one, which you drop to your desired height, then you wind down the top one (with spring still on it) until it reaches the bottom one

Cool thanks for that yeh got the C spanners just no instructions as I never even opened the box!

Hiya, for Weitec coilovers its slightly different - Use a small allen key (i forget which size), take out a little screw in the collar on the strut, and use a C-spanner to turn the collar one way to raise, the other way to lower
Then put the screw back in - I know this as I just did it this evening to mine!

that's cool, never knew that
Miles better even though its not been lowered too much yet!
Where did you get your front wishbone bushes from? Im getting really bad tyre wear and a rubbery squeaking noise, so going to get the rear cupra bushes, thought i may aswell get the front powerflex ones too whilst the wishbones were off!
