Coilover vs suspension kit?

[james walker]

****, your right, they do it for Leon 1.8T, could I not just fit that on my Cupra R?????????

These are the same price but say they do Cupra R;

Weitec 30mm Ultra GT Lowering Springs & Shocks Suspension Kit

Is weitec a good relieable brand name that can be trusted?

weitec = quality, very good vag brand

 

[DamianPM]

As James says, Weitec is a very good brand.

The Koni STR.T kit is a good choice and I'm sure you wouldn't be too low with it.

Damian @ DPM Performance

are they a decent ride quality and not to stiff /jerky

thanks james had your pm

 

[james walker]

they are mate, but they are the same as the koni ssx on least stiff setting... also these are 330quid for the str.t.. nowhere near as good as the ssx matey

 

[DamianPM]

Ah ha, there's the Cupra owner.

No they're not jerky or too stiff. They were designed as an everyday use kit, hense the name Koni Street kit so a really good option.

Personally I still prefer the Weitec's over the Koni's though.

[james walker]

but youd agree damien, that the str.t is not as good a kit as the ssx, plus with the ssx, you get comfort or stiffness when required

Here's a pic of my cupra on the wietec 50mm .

Do you have to avoid all speed bumps etc with the car being that low or do you still get clearance ?

 

[james walker]

whats the ride like on 50mm , your petrol or derv

watch that sump on the derv being 50mm andrew. phil is petrol.

 

[Phillc]

Hi,

sorry had to go out , yes as James say's its petrol, the ride is very good, nice and firm but not crashie at all over the bumps, i am really pleased with them, had to go relativly slowly over speed bumps anyway so really any change there, but i dont have to avoid them, only multistory car parks lol.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

looks lovely

anyone with a tdi with the 30mm kit

cheers

It's bad enough that I have to look at your car in your avatar every time you post, let alone this massive one that makes me drool excessively on my desk!

Did you find that the car dropped slightly more on the rear Phil? Hard to tell in the pic but looks like the rear may be about 5mm lower?

 

[Phillc]

LOL sorry, there is a difference but only 1/4 of an inch thats from arch to the ground 25" front and 25 1/4" rears, so not really noticable.

 

[JamJay]

Thanks Phil. Will get around to fitting this kit one day, very jealous.

 

[Andrewcupra TDI]

any ideas why weitec offer 2 different size lowering options , think 50 & 30 (in same kit )

 

[DamianPM]

Just for drivers who want it lower at the front.
