First thing that was done was replacing all the brakes and disks all round, I went for Pagid All round, so a nice OEM setup again

It started well...

Still can't believe how big the front brakes are compared to the mk4

Next was to remove all the protective stickers it has all over the front end and doors, i know it's expensive and is there for a reason, but it's had it's time and is heavily scratched lol

Makes sense, your R is sitting really nice! my mate's cousin is one of the distributors for UK's accuair so definitely will consider it once I find my perfect R, if that ever happens
Then you have no reason to not bag it then

At a local meet, need the chassis notched to get the front at it's lowest, as it's not low enough aired out

Been looking at these air ride kits, but wondered how the car handles compared to normal coil springs and dampers? I've always thought air was more for show n no go, but I think modern technology has moved things along a bit.
I have read plenty about the ride being superior compared to OEM, but do the cars still go round corners in a hurry ok on air?
Your car does look well though
