Also what most of the boya over on edition 38 run.
The camber shims will help alot though

Awesome, love the bonnet, kinda reminds me of a Astra I had awhile ago, I did it in chalkboard black, lights black, wheels black, lots of smoothing, hidden exhaust etc.
look really good mate. can you tell me more about the lowered top mounts? do they lower it by a certain amount? and if so where can i get them from for my s3
umm u can buy actuall lowering top mounts sumwere on the internet,,technique im using is
you buy polo 6n2 top mounts and also the strut stop tht u see in the engine bac above teh turret (metal plate last part os suspension)
its perfectly safe, bearings are same ect, rubber is tough as nails,,,so u gain about 20-15 mm lowering ,,,, their 15 quid each much cheaper thn the 90 quid they ask fr the actuall lowering ones
