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.

well fitted the ssqv today so simple to fit and sounds good must say though not too loud with the bonnet shut.....:Sulk::crying::crying::crying: just as well i only bought it for engine bay bling sounds good with the bonnet up though...
also fitted the cusco strut brace and it has a brake stopper built in!!!woopwoop....
also to cut the splitter to fit like mine you just follow the lines of the splitter and its a seat cupra r splitter......
