yeah i think so to, the pic is a bit dodgey as my drive is unevan, they would have been on by now but for some reason the rear wheel wouldnt come off:cry:

Once you got all the bolts out, the wheels will still be on tight, i found this out when changing my rear pads the other night, the wheel needed a bit of force to come off. Dont ***** with it!! lol get some force behind it lol

How much are AmD stinging you for the springs?

I did mine in 2 hours with the aid of my mates air tools and ramp. £75 his way all done.If you want I'll take you done there and we can do it.

Have you got new top mounts for the suspension? Well worth doing seeing as the suspension is coming off.

They are charging £150 with a four wheel alignment

I am sure they got changed last MOT as i was told they were "worn out". D.K do you fancy sorting out the cold air feed to my ar box as it doesnt go in it it just sits outside where the normal hole was

£!50 is a good price, I'm assuming you are buying the springs from them?

Have a look at this link: http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=247153

Dave at Seremotors will sort you out for top mounts.

No I already have the springs but considering it's 4 wheel align aswell which on their website is priced up at £70 don't think it's to bad

if I only replaced the mounts last mot surely they will be ok won't they?
