- car seat leon cupra r track
There's a very large thread on the ARB which would be a very good read for you and goes into great detail. The S3 strutt brace is not adjustable, it's fixed
ive just got my ferodo pads on and theres no sensor wire. Is there away to turn it off on the dash at all as the car beeps everytime i turn it on. or do i just have to live with it. . Im at mallary park tomorrow so will see how they perform. R any off u lot going.
Where it should plug into the loom in the arch, just short out the clips, a forked electrical connector works well, and tape it up 
I have a track car and an LCR - simply fact is the leon is a bit of a boat and you can put thousands in and it will be good but still fwd, heavy and a turbo'd lump isnt ideal to me even though they have a smooth power curve its something expensive to go wrong - For me what i really wanted was a N/A revy rwd fully adjustable car and remember power means nothing if you cant put it down.
If your commited though loose some weight and get it setup correctly - lower isnt always better and good starting point is wishbones parallel to the floor and the stiffest arbs arent always best, you want give in the setup to aid dynamic camber and the tyre patch on the tarmac so get a good book on the subject like speed pro's suspension setup as you will want to make changes and regulary. Big alloys wont help either id go smaller maybe 17s if you can get away with it and team dynamics pro race alloys which are cheap and R888s arent that bad in the wet if your sensible but a second set of wet weather tyres could give you better feel and save you from crashing if your not comfortable in the wet. Get some high temp brake fluid aswell.
Good luck and have fun with it.

mallory was a good day i managed to stop on the track and the brakes felt great. But I stuggled to get the power down in the fast corners so next on the shoppin list is LSD and while am gettin that done i might as well get a baffled sump. if any one on here could give me a quote please i would be most greatful.
If your doing a diff you'll be as well to change the clutch and flywheel at the same time.
Upgrading the engine mounts is also advisable for better traction

I was thinkin about gettin the clutch done but never fort about the fly wheel cheer for that. The only thing with the clutch is am not sure what power to go for so im not sure which clutch to go for. where would u recomend to go im going to ring badger 5, bankdraft, and awsome gti for a quote 2morrow see what they recomend going 4. But yer am doin what u said b4 and doin my handelin b4 the power.
