Look What some old hag has done to my cupra

[Andy3004]

good question im glad u asked...
i think on standard leon cupra the drop is 40mm i think its the leon cupra R that has less drop as they are lower to start with... i could be wrong.
what i am sure of is the ride is so different you cant understand how awful the standard shocks are until you try these!
much less body roll and a very forgiving ride where pot holes and speed bumbs are concerned!
much better motorway wise, stabillity is awesome!

I think the drop is quoted from a standard non cupra....so bit less for a cupra (I think Cupra is 15mm less than standard, and R 10 less again but could be wrong!).

I'm glad you're happy with the ride though....I'm currently toying with between this kit and the weitec 50mm one. I'll end up getting one or the other from DPM fairly soon as my OEM shocks are knackered I think... nearly 70k on them and they're getting far more crashy than I remember when the car was new....

Cheers!

i was gona go for the weitecs but i wanted ride quality that wasnt hard my friend has them on his golf and its harder ride than my car. granted it grips better.
i highly recommend these.
damien supplied them at a good price get in touch.
that would make sense about the height. its certainly alot lower i wish id measured...

 

[Andy3004]

sounds good! Cheers for the info....Am leaning towards these now!

 

[nicksxjr]

Just while i was having the tracking sorted..good old kwik fit.

Yellow!

Out of interest no one has mentioned it but thery are the right way up arent they? (the springs).

You do know that kwik fit do tracking and not the 4 wheel alignment that the Leon geometry needs.

The springs are the right way around, yes.
The larger coils go to the bottom and the smaller coils go to the top where the rubber mount is fitted between the spring and the chassis mount.

 

[nicksxjr]

That's a mighty fine sig pic you've got there



Nick, seen this?

 

[nicksxjr]

Another couple of weeks have gone by and only a few bits done (no cash )

Firstly although these pictures are not of the finished product the bump strips have been colour coded

The sides are also done now but with pics to follow.

Also managed to modify the air box. had way to much fun with an angle grinder!

Will pop the rest on in the week
