    I like the skirts as they compliment the cupra lip well (or vise-versa in reality).

    I would consider body matching the upper part of the rear black valance as has been done before.

    ^^^ healthy understanding of differing opinions.

    Keyboard warriors take note, this is how it's done properly.

    I must admit though, these twists sure aren't as light as you're Enkei's unfortunately.

    from factory, for both front and back, you can turn the adjustment thingies an extra 720 degrees, so i figured that makes 5 settings.

    for the back, it's on 4/5, for the front it's 3/5, although im thinking of turning the front up to 4/5 because it's pretty low, and ive heard some scary knocks and metal clangs in the last couple of days. i'll probably raise it a few mm too. given that the rears are only externally adjustable, i figured that 5/5 would be impractical for daily driving use, and would only really be beneficial on the track. but then, i wanted the fronts to be slightly softer than the rears to assist with turn in etc.... well, at least that's what i learned playing gran turismo haha (dont laugh too loud, though - i learned how to reverse around corners with a trailer on, thanks to the semi trailer missions in grand theft auto)

    those shots are with the weitec "fail to deliver on the promise of" lowering 30mm springs, haha. as for rolling - none of that here. the thing corners much better than it used to, now. nice and flat. i'll keep the rear sway on medium because any further improvement in handling / twisty road driveability would have to come from other things like better rubber, in my personal opinion. turn in is nice - you can still feel some understeer because of the heavy engine, but nothing like what it was before.

    yes they are Stu's old twists. With a 7.5" wide wheel and an et35 you dont need spacers, they should sit pretty pucker
