Hi sanj, know it's only early days but what's the feedback so far on the WALK kit alongside the Eibach pro kit. Got the same bits in my garage waiting for a day off to get them fitted. Are they the E10-85-014-06-22 and are they much different to stock in feel. Cheers  :happy2:

Hiya mate,it all seem's very tight and a lot better to drive,deffo much more power getting to the front wheel's,Eibach kit was bought from a member on here and dropped the car all round by 20mm,it's a pleasure to drive and feel's a lot like the stock setup in terms of ride quality,early day's as you have said and i'm gonna have to look into the problem's people have had when lowering car's and then getting laser tracking and front camber problem's. :smiley:

Changed the wheel bearing on the wifes 1.9 TDI. Easy and straight forward job to do, just the hub nut is 27mm for future reference and the only socket i didnt have in my socket kit. So half way through had to pop out to halfords for a socket, lucky i got my trade card :)
