yup - it was those pics that made me decide that I am gonna do it as well.
Think it will have to wait for the new year tho.

No probs pabs, like you say i does look like a standard part for the MY03 bumper.
Don't spose you could do me a favor pabs, could you measure the height from the ground up to the top of the front arch? Just want to see exactly how low my car is!!

ground to top of the front arch - will do. Cant do it now cos its too cold and dark, but will do it tomorrow. Would definately be good to get exact drop measurements anyway.
LOL!!! i was actually talking to Chez (Slicker on the 'other' site) his name is paul too(I think)!!! Just wondered if he'd done it yet as he asked for some pics a while back!!
Got the self tappers from ye old faithfull B&Q, no need to drill holes as the plastic is very soft anyway.

my car fronts sit 67cm 670mm from ground to top centre of wheel arch bodywork.
Front bumper sits approx 17cm from floor.
Rear is slightly lower than front, about 66cm from ground to arch.
Whats yours?
I ordered my LCR splitter today - will be picking it up on friday. Not sure on when I will fit it tho.

Right pabs,
Front is 635,
Back is 638 ish,
Splitter is 110 from deck,
Bumper is 140.
These are all 'ish' measurements as is getting dark!!
Thats means my car is lowered 35mm, the springs did say 45mm but as mentioned before the cupra sits 11mm (??) lower anyway so that tallies up.

wow - thats a pretty accurate drop then. But the splitter/suspension drops the front by 60mm odd then.... might be pushing it :S
who knows - just tell my missus if we are to go shopping that i aint parking in a multi-storey

what spax suspension do you have mate? Just interested thats all - pretty set on the FK or Koni gear myself.
yeh - have been thinkin that - alternatively use her car
I just wondered if I get a full kit whether or not to drop it all the way or perhaps part of the way, edging my bets between the two (being a chicken i know!)

i get a few scraps on my cupra r but as someone has already stated its on standard shocks set-up it does tend to nose dive at front and is lower at front thn rear im goin to lower mine and i believe its around 25-30mm but this will even the car out and stop th nose diving at front (hopefully)
just caught up on this thread - been in Germany for two days.
Not got round to buying the splitter yet - am prob gonna wait till the new year to get it fitted..
