I had a simlar thread the other day
http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=208090

apparently 15mm/ no difference at all depends who you ask

ta mate there has to be a difference in the 2 as then tyat would mean my sport tdi has the cupra springs which i know it hasnt, and the question is now is the cupra shocks stiffer than the sport, its says in one the answers it is but is it??????

so is the tdi cupra suspension springs different in size and stiffness than the sport tdi? and would there be a difference in mm????

 

[Cupra_Jay]

my understanding...and i dont know how true this is...is that the cupra has a firmer suspension setup and i think sits a little lower than normal ibizas

Like i said, i dont know how true that is but that is my personal opinion

i would imagine it SHOULD do being the top of the range of its class, will see what the evening messages say aswell, thanks for your reply matey

they must be all that bhp and no corner speed i know i wouldnt have got the cupra if they had poor handling. although 205 tyres also help on the bends.

Cupra suspension is both stiffer and lower than the FR and the FR is stiffer and lower then the rest of the range.

I may have full Cupra suspension for sale next week

i got fr suspension on sale to mate if your interested

so... would suspension from a petrol cupra be ok on a tdi? or would the different car/engine weights be an issue?

 

[Damoegan]

I personaly thing it will be ok but best check with others first..

 

[Chriswaite130]

yeah thats what i thought! how come you're getting rid of it damien? i know you have coilovers now, but why the change?

 

[Damoegan]

I snapped a strut top bolt on the front so thought as its got to come out to be repaired I might as well get coilovers

I'm not selling the car thought

 

[Chriswaite130]

sorry my bad mate - typo

as im totally useless when it comes to mechanics - if you did sell your suspension would the bit with the snapped bolt in it need to be replaced? or do i already have one on my car that could replace it? sorry for my stupidness lol

The part will be repaired and used on my coilovers.
You will have the same part on your car but when I do sell them I will give people the optiont to have brand new top mounts included (at aditional cost).

 

[Chriswaite130]

ah ok, thanks for the help! would still be handy to know if the suspension would be any good for a tdi though anybody? lol

 

[kriso]

It will be stiffer if that's what you want but probably worth getting Cupra bushes and the thicker front ARB to go with it.
