    hey all,

    I recently purchased and installed the H&R cup kit and cupra r bushes. The kit consists of the H&R springs which many people on this forum are running + the matching H&R dampers to match (I read somewhere they were made by bilstein could be wrong )

    It's a HUGE improvement over stock, the car sits much much flatter through corners and doesn't have too much of a stiff ride over bumps compared to stock. I find that I can now push the car much harder familiar corners without the fear of washing out into understeer where I would previously. Weight transfer is also less pronounced so the car feels a lot snappier changing directions and gives me the nice dumped look to boot...

    So I got my car back on Sat morning To start with I could feel a lot of weight in the rear and thought it very strange, at my next stop I checked the boot and the'd put the old shocks and springs in the boot. Once I got home and removed the old ones from the boot, the car is brilliant. I can feel a bit of stiffness but not so much that the ride is harsh.

    I walked past it and thought hey wow that is pretty low, think it's been dropped bout 3-4cm. So far pretty happy with it Was trying to plan a run up and down Macq Pass but have missed out. 5 days and I'm off to Thailand for 10 days, so will love getting back in the car when I return

    It's actually weird driving a car that absorbs the bumps, especially just regular rises and dips in a smooth road.

    As for the track, we'll see. Wouldn't mind doing some motorkhana's.
