steviewevie ok, just so long as you realise you're compromising the handling and tyre wear. IMHO it'd be worth considering the camber adjusters at some point - they'll pay for themselves in terms of saving the money on tyre replacements :biggrin:

On the ride height, I never measured mine when it was OEM. But it was an early Sport model like yours (99). After fitting the TTE springs it rode 63.5cm at the front, and 66cm at the rear.

i know mate but i hardly use my car now so it wont be that bad and even with the camber the way it is now if its set up right(apart from camber) it will handle better than it did standard....:wink:

just mesured mine and its not as bad as i thought 60mm front 59.9mm rear but will double check later as i'm on a slight hill..i think mine looks lower due to it sitting on 18's ie the wheels are tucked up right in the arches...

garyskisplym Are the measurements from bottom of bumper to the road???

No, I measured from the top centre of each wheel arch down to the ground.

Pretty sure Ormi said somewhere that he cut down a splitter from a seat leon/cupra or something like that...
