Booker who do you use for tracking, we've been having trouble getting the equipment on maybe cause of the spacers, got to go back to the dealers tomorrow, a fault has appeared stabilisation program fault, I hope this is something to do with the gearbox change and just needs resetting

These guys said my car is too low, I thought yours was about the same, I'm gonna try again on Friday without spacers then put them back on after they are done

Finally got the car tracked up, the reason was when they put the gearbox on the steering was put on a spline wrong so we couldn't get the car centred, now done the car feels awesome, lift off over steer on just when I need it, and the car just digs in on high speed bends, I had a 991 turbo last year and the rs feels like a baby version of that, I bought the car for the mrs, but now I'm gonna do some upgrades and keep for myself as a plaything , I'll have to get her something ASAP lol

Also is your car definitely lowered 25mm at the rear as it looks like I wouldn't even be able to change to a pilot super sport in oe size without scrubbing, I have them on the front but the rear conti has some stretch so just misses the arch, would be nice to see your car when we're both free pal πŸ‘

I would definitely recommend Revo software Sonny, the guys at Midland VW did it for me. As for lowering, I've no idea of the exact drop but I did have to take it back to be raised slightly as the car was catching at the rear with two passengers in the back - I suspect with 5mm spacers at the rear rather than 10mm it would have been ok. Happy to meet up any time and compare  :)

Also if you get the roll bar fitted I would try on the softer setting first, I've gone straight for the stiffest, wish I'd done that so I could compare

I'm surprised your wife has the energy to drive Sonny! I'm heading to my girlfriend in Coldsall tomorrow so I could come via Wednesbury if you are there - it would be around 4pm

I deleted the post before mate, as I thought it's not a good idea putting my whereabouts on show

Went for a drive in bookers car yesterday, the bilstein suspension set up is awesome, much better than changing just the springs, which can become a bit rough on anything but smooth roads.really recommend the upgrade
