Did you unscrew the brake reservoir cap? Otherwise it reads like a sticking piston.

Top mounts and don't forget the bump stops. Or the damper rods get exposed when the plastic sleeve falls down. Seat Cupra shortened bump stops on the back.

You have to negate the kick up on the left. Find a wall and a piece of card or plastic and have a play. Completely flat or horizontal beam pattern is what to aim for.

I think.... can have the 45 or the 215 but not both on a 17. Ibiza rims are offset 41-43 I believe. Little bro went from 205/40 to 205/45 (I think) to get a little more comfort.

It looks like the inner face of those mountings in the beam isn't finished to allow a snug fit of the bush flange up to it. Just checked the OEMs and they're similar and fitted similarly to the Powerflex.

Glue.... Or spendy garage money.

Wheels are 1/2" (12-13mm) wider than OEM = 6-7mm wider inside and out. Offset is ~10mm less than OEM = more sticky-outy. Tyres are 10mm wider than OEM but same profile (45). Another 6-7mm plus a bit taller too. If you can identify exactly where they're rubbing/scuffing the tyres, that's a good start.

Hang on... Replace gasket with OEM hole in it with one with 9mm or whatever hole in it. Increase hole size to 11-12mm to avoid CEL. But if... Install blanking plate after drilling a 11-12mm hole in it. You'll need another gasket. One either side of the restrictor plate.

Workshop manuals doesn't show the front bush as a separate part, though FEBI etc replacements exist. As do Powerflex.

Something minor moddy that might tighten things up.... Fit a new VRS front ARB and get a Whiteline rear ARB on the car. Obvs get a pair of good rear shocks in there to start with. Do you tend to carry stuff in the boot?

That looks quite extreme. I'd be quite worried about the sump if that was my car. Possibly you can claw some height back with a set of new front top mounts but if you're doing that, swap out the springs anyway.

Check the other one. Possibly, if the new bearing was whacked into place it's broke. Even if it rotates freely in air.

Mad to spend that much on lights no one has (relatively) used. The stock halogens are reportedly good. £100-£150 for a new OEM-likes pair.
