So why the change from the db9s?

My new kit has red calipers!  :evilgrin:
Would new kit also fit under OEM Cupra Alloys for the winter!? :party:

I doubt it mate.

as promised H&R Wheel studs...  Advertised as coming with an anti corrosive coating, yea right  :fighting:



Love the look of them in the flesh.  Will stop me destroying the 996TT calipers, make wheel changes easier (when I can afford winters / track rims)

Please ignore the paint on the wheels, they're being refurbed soon  :party:

Where from and how much mike?

I think they will in time make things a fair bit easier, I've got the 60mm's fitted but mine are clean and rust free.  :P

Those ball joints look interesting... Also, do the superpro front bushes go into the arm dry then the steel inserts go in lubed or both lubed?

Tiny bit of lube on the outers to slip them in easily.  :signLOL:

Loads on the inserts.  Excess will come out.

Interested why these dont work on the Cupra, but work really well on the GTI and vRS.  Shame really.  You'll have to get some top mounts to gain that negative camber back.
