After the comments about AP's not going quite low eneough - can anyone post a pic please?
With lots of speed bumps near me, I'd be interested to see if they were low enough for me :D

I've just ordered a set of the Weitecs :)

Now, is there anything else i should change now i'm going to have the suspension off? Bearing in mind i won't have any 'specialist' tools, just the stuff required to change over the suspension :)

Replace your bushes with cupra bushes for sure!

Look at yorks build thread, first or second page for part numbers :wink:

Cheers Kenny, I'll get some ordered! Do you know how much they cost roughly and can I do them myself?

Ive got a thread in the mk6 section and im on AP's. Had to take the adjustor out the back.

Ive heard people changing the springs on the coilies to get there car lower, any1 got more info on this?? I dont want to chop coils. The fronts have about another 30mm left but the backs are down al the way.

Phoned venom and they said try FK rear springs instead. I know the FKs go lower than the AP's (Drewbars car is lower than mine at the back lol) But Will they fit on the Ap's??

Thy rekon it will be about £50 for the rear springs.
