Decided to drop the front a bit more today so it's now level with the rear. Also adjusted the damping all round too, the adjuster knob wasn't broken like first thought. Much smoother ride now on level 4 and not 6. Will post up pics at weekend when clean.

6 is like riding with no suspension at all. Just so hard. I mainly drive lanes and country roads to work so 4 is much more user friendly lol

Gave it a clean and polish yesterday and here are a couple of shots, much happier now its a slightly softer ride and next thing for it is 4 new tyres, anybody have any suggestions on what to go for. Like the original pirellis but cant seem to get them so put on toyo t1-r and was quite happy with those but anything else out there worth going for?
Damoegan heres a couple of prints out from my rolling road sessons that i was on about to you. Not the best as from i phone as camera and scanner are foobard!

Well havent updated this thread in over a year and quite a bit happened since then. Been so lobg cant remember what order things went but i will try my best.
Bought and fitted a LCR splitter- bit marmite really, some like them others dont, personally i quite like them.
I bought a Alpine fold out DVD headunit and fitted this, alwas wanted one and found one on ED38 at a price i couldnt refuse.
I had a bit of trouble with my engine cover in that the silver part lifted up and creased so decided to remove it as it wasnt pleasing to the eye. Went to Ultimate Dubs in March and bought a sheet of carbon fibre so made a new engine cover, front number plate surround and rear number ate surround.

Bought a Milltek cat back non resonated system from egay for £200 and fitted that to free up a few more horses.
Read a few reviews on the Forge DV relocation kit and purchased one of those in black and fitted it, couple of weeks later bought the new Forge top intercooler hose.

Wheels were looking a bit scabby and needed new tyres so decided to get them refurbished due to the distinct lack of wheels to fit over the Cupra brakes. Had them re-sprayed BMW sparkling graphite. Whilst they were off being sprayed i tidyed up the coilys, cleaned the threads again and covered in denzo tape, sprayed the front struts VW satin silver as they had started to corrode due to the salt and crap from our terrible roads. Also gave the brakes a fresh coat of paint.
