It won't affect your geometry and it's an easy DIY job. If you're not too good with a spanner then an hours labour would be the most for anyone. Buy from Scoobyclinic and they might fit FOC if you ask nicely, but Demon Tweeks tend to be cheapest on Whiteline gear, and they do a Scoobynet discount too.

Nice car that I no longer own Mudflaps were a gift from a mate selling up If you're fitting the spings then you'll need the geo doing very soon after. I use a local mobile firm who visit any garage in the Leeds area with ramps. The settings they applied to mine were astounding, and way better than the previous Prodrive settings.

Sold up as the miles got higher (60k) and used the money to train as a driving instructor. Now fully qualified and teaching in a Fabia vRS (being map'd on monday to 320 lb/ft ) which is a stunning little car. Upwards of 40mph slower through the bends than my Scoob, but still a rewarding and fun drive. Docile enough for the learners and fun for me, and up to 65mpg with under £300 insurance I might have another Scoob one day, but reducing the mortgage is my priority now, so I can move to Cornwall with a relaxed life

Try these fellas, say Dunx sent you :-

Rear ARB £115 with free fitting for a limited period !

Rear bling drop-links £77

Front ARB about the same again fitted free !

Anti-Lift kit (needs geometry doing after fitting) supplied for about £145 I think.

P.S. I used to live in Cottingham but gone west now !
