as for corner weighting I really wanted this myself but regal did not offer it, most places will charge extra for this and is very difficult to find a place which does, though as gaz said best way to set up coilovers
so thanks for tip robin, and those extra blue polly bushes look especially :drool:

....When going to someone like VWR who have proven expertise, it makes sense to outline what you would like to achieve but give them the freedom and trust to do what they know best. My brief was "practical for road use and no extra tyre wear". If I find it too low I know I can go back to them and they'll re-adjust it, but I think I would have already discovered problems yesterday morning when I went out looking for them!
If you insist on overriding expert advice, that's when you can get problems. It's also why I would never attempt this myself, even if I had workshop experience - It's not the installation which benefits so much from skill but the suspension setup afterwards which is all-important and actually critical in achieving results.
I'm very, very surprised to hear that Regal don't offer corner-weighting - Afterall they ran the winning VW Racing Cup Mk5 GTI last season! I'm assuming that Regal themselves did all the race preparation on that car.
When you think about it logically, corner-weighting does help.

....Cheers, gaz :happy2:
I left it up to Mark - He knew I wanted it to be practical for fast road use and I trust his judgement.
Sure, there are places I can't go (like indoor carpark higher levels) but on Eurotunnel I can always go on the lower deck.
