need these doing myself, the whole axle needs to be dropped :shocked:

Im going to replace with the standard ones, they've done a good job lasting 90k, at £20 a side, cant really complain. Think the cupra R ones are 50 each? dont think it'll make 'that' much difference upgrading to those, could be wrong though?  :undecided:

If you fit poly bushes then yes the ride quality will suffer but fit the fabia VRS bush or the Ibiza Cupra R bush and they are none voided rubber bushes so you won't notice any harder ride.

These fit http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1339 (http://www.vwspares.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1339) and for £10.95 they are a bargain when the LCR ones are £40 + each
