I've also purchased some Eibach Sportline springs from them too. Very helpful chap, replies pretty quick if you have any questions.

As for your questions, Price was a lot for what it is, £358.

Sound - You can clearly hear from inside the car, windows up. Air rushing and boost cut off. Windows down its pretty loud, head turning noise from the public.
Performance - I can feel it being more aggressive, wanting to pull. Turbo spools quicker too.

Its more than little improvement. But my car is standard, in need of a remap. Apparently that's when you can feel the benefits.

Yeah they are Depo headlight units. I've seen Hella ones but realised they are for LHD only.
HIDs and LEDs works well, I got super bright LEDs which is noticeable against the HIDs.

V5c turned up today, private plate soon went on J300 CLY = JEDD CLAY :) Pressed Plates, Legal from Dubmeister http://www.dubmeister.co.uk/

Nice car  good progress. I've recently got a GTI, my first VAG car and first time I've started looking at performance mods. Good to see what you've done  having the Milltek already on was a bit of luck

[GTiBlues]

Was a bit of luck too. Looking at getting the Eurojet downpipe and sports cat fitted in February from LVS. So that should release all restrictions from the Pre-cat and standard cat. Plus its fraction of the price of Millteks. So look at Eurojet on the Revo website or visit your local Revo dealer 

I had a Leon Cupra TDi before, I did so many mods on that car and now learnt to spend more and do it right first time. Well known branded stuff that works and lasts. Only tip I got for you lol

[GTiBlues]

Cars coming on nicely!

Are the headlights Depo? How are you finding the matching for the HID kit to the LED sidelights?

HIDs over LEDs, brighter by eye.

Thursday night I fitted my Eibach Sportlines and Forge spacers.

Spacers 10mm on the fronts, 16mm on the rear.



Car handles so much steadier, more feed back through the steering. Plus I can feel more of what the rear is doing too. So everything all good.

Noticed too that I got baffles coming out of my Milltek back box. Get a rasp noise on let off. Another issue now.

Had a issue getting a bolt off the top strut drivers side. At some point it was taken off in its previous life and some monkey snapped the nut off the top mount. As you guess, it wouldn't come off...being bent too they stuck a rounded nut on it.

Lucky enough I had some new top mounts, bearings too as mine fell apart. Dry and rusted.

So I'm happy with the height and poke, looks like it's meant to be. My mate who's a mechanic for Skoda, previous was VW. Said they should of left the factory like this and not like it was before.

Had a eventful evening swearing etc. It was my first good incite having a nose around working out what does what. Also working out what I need to get.

Before & After -

Looks good mate. Had my sportlines on for about a week. Were a bit of a pain to fit, but luckily had my brother to help.

Not sure why that double posted. Tappatalk messing around.

[GTiBlues]

The forum just froze on me and I posted twice in the other Topic.

Let me guess, you had trouble getting the drivers side strut down?

[Harz]

Actually I found the drivers side easy to get out, but needed help getting it back in. The passenger side was a right pain to get out and back in.

[GTiBlues]

Well we did it up on ramps, undo both sides the anti roll bar to give more drop. I had a bar in the wishbone to push down as my mate pulled the hub back.

Only mega problem was the top mount bush bolts was rounded off.

Anyway its all done with new parts, will look at replacing drop links etc in the future

[Harz]

I used an electric impact wrench/gun to get top nut off. Came off easy. Had car jacked up on both sides with anti roll bar loose on both sides, but passenger side was a pain everything was stiffer on passenger side and all the nuts and bolts were harder to remove. Like you said its done now. Hopefully wont have to go through it again anytime soon.

Wow, interior looks so clean after you were finished!

[Timepillow]

Your car looks amazing mate! so shinny! 

Some great mods you've done too! Keep it up! 

[GTiBlues]

I haven't had chance to clean it properly yet, only had washes. Got all my new cleaning products waiting to go! Just the weather been wet and too cold.

As for mods, do it right first time and save the hassle that comes with eBay rubbish!

Interior needs another steam clean, will do that when the weather warmer, car will dry quicker then.
