H&R Cup Kit or FK Coilovers? Help

[hadz]

i want to buy some new suspension in the next few weeks but cant decide what to get. I was think of the H&R Cup kit but im afriad that it might not look low enough once i have got 17's on the car. The other option i was thinking of was FK Highsports Coilovers but they have gone up in price so much lately.

I was wondering if any1 could give me there review on eaither the H&R Cup Kit or the Coilovers. Also if any1 could post some pics up would be great coz then i can get sum kind of idea what it will look like!

also whats the chaepest place to get eaither of them from!

Ive the H&R collies on my LCR. Superb pieice of kit & lowered 30mm on 18's

Looks just right and it will drop extra 5 odd mm after run-in (bout 300 miles.)
Got it done at JBS inc traction.

Would be great kit on your biza

I have just got the H & R Cup Kit for mine although i have 16" rims

I think there is two heights you can get, something like 30mm/40mm and 50mm/40mm (the one i have)

There are people on here that have the H & R Cup Kit with 17" rims and it is definately low enough, with an LCR Splitter on it looks HOT

Where did you get your H & R cup kit and how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

I got it second hand! Its about £350 brand new, if that helps?

 

[Jamie R]

Do you know where i could get them from brand new?

There is LOADS of places that does them but i know one of them sells them as cheap as about £340

I will try and find that site for you

Have a look at this linky for some more details on them and pictures of CupraPowers Red MK3 when he had the H & Cup Kit with 17" rims on

whats the ride quality like compared to the standard cupra set up is it the same or alot stiffer ?

 

[exsaxoboy!]

Theres a bloke on club lupo thats has a direct link with a German supplier. I've just bought a set of spot on budget coilovers called evo's, for 285 plus pand p thay are really good althougth ive only fitted them this afternoon, so cant give a full reveiw until its tracked up.

The blokes name is Phill, he can get h+r, fks, evos. and even does non adjustable suspension kits for 130 quid. Check him out, well cheap and fast delivery.

Always thought the front isnt low enough on the H+R's.

Hard as **** ride according to davidol as well.


Good quality tho.

I had a kit like that on my last car everytime you went over a leaf or something small it would send shock waves threw your spine lol and you can imagine pot holes isnt there any kit that will lower your car and still keep a soft ride ?

[Essex_Cupra]
