Project Monster Part 4 - Whiteline ing it!

So onto part 4a - Handling - specifically the Whiteline front and rear anti roll bars along with their Anti Lift Kit. (and some rather nice interior mats and decals)

The idea here is to tame the front end of the car, which on full throttle can become a bit of a handful.

The Whiteline stuff very well thought out, nicely finished and from our experience performs exactly as expected and fits spot on, every time.

So, fittings pretty straightforward, with the ALK requiring a workshop press to remove the oem fittings. The front anti-roll bars quite time consuming to install, requiring the removal of several sections under the car to gain access and install. Rear anti-roll bars a whole lot easier. Timewise around around 4 hours start to finish.

Once off the ramp the alignments reset and its onto the road test. First impressions are that the kits removed the majority of the judder and skitish nature of the car from the front end during heavy acceleration, making for a much more predictable drive. Wheelspins still there (although a lot of it seems to have been removed, and wheelspin in some gears is expected at this level of power).

Cornering seems to be improved, but it was always good on the Cupra, so would need back to back track testing to compare real results.

Overall, a simple yet very effective modification to the Cupra, making for less drama on the road.

Other things added recently, a rather nice set of our Monster Mats, complete with driver and passengers heelplates and Monster logos.

Finally some "Monster Motorsport 350" decals for the front doors and rear of the car.
