I think amanda has got it wrong. Think Amar is running H&R COILOVERS and Hotchkis arbsShoppinit wrote:Big black lines in, big black lines out.adsgreen wrote: Even then depends on your 'style' on corner entry.
Amar, are you saying you have gone from the H&R to the Hotchkiss? If so then you are the only one that's been down that road, so we need a full review!

Re: Another Hotchkis ARB convert
I knew Amar was on H&R coilovers. Sounded like he was saying he was on H&R ARBs, too.

I can't find where he may have said he has h&r arbs.

Re: Another Hotchkis ARB convert
Footlong expressed surprise and Amar didn't deny. Still, reading again he doesn't say that he has H&R arbs. No doubt he will be along to tell us.

Re: Another Hotchkis ARB convert
Amanda sent me a message to ask if my car had H&Rs fitted when she drove it, I assumed she was talking about coilovers as she didn't mention this thread, so replied - yes, hence the confusion in this thread.
I didn't spot Footlong's post asking if I had H&R arbs, but I've only had OEM bars and then gone to Hotchkis.
When Amanda drove my car, it was standard bar H&R coilovers, it also had Bridgestone tyres on, her car was also on Birdgestones with KW coilovers and like me standard OEM anti roll bars. I wouldn't say the car was boat like at all, not even in the slightest. The only difference between our car at the time from a handling prespective was I had H&R and she the KW Coilovers, and I couldn't make any worthwhile conclusions or comparisons between the two coilover setups on my drive of her car, on the same roads and same drive she had of mine, especially not anything as drastic as saying either one was boat like. After going in Amanda's car more recently through, I would say the KW coilovers ride a lot better vs the H&R on mine so would say the KW are better on this basis alone, but that's a new thread all together.
Hope that has cleared it up.

Re: Another Hotchkis ARB convert
I had a spam message through from APS earlier this week saying that they were bringing Whiteline kit for Audi over here. I got my hopes up that I could get their Anti-lift kit fitted like I had on my scoobs but they don't do it for our car, harumph..... The handling is really starting to feel more tired and wallowy the more that I drive the Cupra (to be expected to an extent then...) and have been tempted to hand the car to MRC and ask them to take all the squishy bits out and replace/uprate them.
