Looking good mate, bet that's a bit of a sleeper I'd imagine it troubles some more "sportier" cars round the twisty B-roads.
Where did you source the front hubs from and for how much (if you don't mind me asking)? Is it an easy job to do?
Cheers,
Ash

Yeah Clio 172 drivers hate me, well after they see the dirty diesel badge anyway, lol.
I gave £120 for them but that was pretty cheap, you are looking at £80 a side plus VAT usually, I only got them cheap cos a Breaker owed my brother a favour! Just have a look on eBay and in breakers. Any Ibiza FR/Cupra, Fabia vRS or Polo GT has the correct hubs and they arent a difficult task to fit, we did both sides of mine in 3 hours taking it steady.

Yeah top mounts fitted no problems, Not sure if there are any differences TBH but better safe than sorry, and I think they were cheaper if I remember correctly!

Re: My 9N TDi Sport - New Wheels and Brakes!!!!
Great spec! Although not sure on the front ARB - a bigger one will induce more understeer and you've got stiffer front springs anyway. Just my 2p.
Other than that, a nice motor (good choice of engine too )

Re: My 9N TDi Sport - New Wheels and Brakes!!!!
Yeah the Front Anti-Roll bar in hindsight would have just been changed for a Fabia VRS one, as it does provoke a little understeer, however, with the large rear one, you can control where the car is going with the throttle and brake a little, enough to scare passengers anyway, lol!
Thanks for the positive comments! I'm itching to break 200BHP now but I am in two minds!!
