Apart from saying the obvious 'I can see your balls', what's the background to this? What exactly did you do to slam it that hard?

A multiple combination of springs too soft, springs too low, heavy GTI6 engine, R888's, no bump stops and clobbering kerbs at Cadwell Park I think.... I didn't really notice one particular corner that had done it, I just noticed it in the process of swapping the front springs over to raise the ride height.

 

The nearside one was fine, this was the offside bearing
