Very impressed with them. Had a bit of wobble from 80-100mph (on a runway at work) but the front left wheel just needed to be tightened after a drive.

All done now and no probs at all.

Yup definately does

One of my mates (who didn't know i had put them on) stood for 20 mins looking at the car today.

I asked him what is up and he said "Something is different but i can't suss out what it is" I asked him if he wanted to know and he said no ill work it out.

20 Mins later he gave up and i told him  :grin:

Looks great,
I had my old vRS lowered on H&R cup kit and it was screaming out for spacers, but I sold the car before I got around to getting them!! Very nice, does it handle any different?
