White FR to Black Cupra - Cupra Now Sold :(
- Thread starter Scott-o
- Start date
waiting on top mounts and bearings then they can get fitted, hopefully one day this week! Really cant wait to be low again
They might do... I ran my car with no adjusters for a few months, but it ran so low that the rear beam was pressing the exhaust into the bottom of the car so I basically had zero suspension on the rear. I hope you have a good dentist anyways lol

On my R32 the exhaust runs under the rear suspension. So I could have it decked. But I would knacker the diff instead.
I would say dont slam your car on it's arse. You've got a Cupra for gods sake, you need to have it at a sensible height so you can drive it like it's meant to be driven without scuffing!
Mine was pretty much bang on between scuffing and hoofing! lol I didnt ever get any scuffing but was still fairly low. Well, the only thing that did scuff was the sump but you wont have that problem now!
Had them out on the White one from day one and no problems at all not even when I had daft wheels and stuff on and never have anyone in the back so hopefully it will be fine problem with scrubbing is on the fronts I found and 13-14 threads up on the weitecs I found to be a good compromise for lows and very very minimal scrubbing. Will see what the milltek exhaust is like with clearance when it goes on eventually!
T.I.P is going on, on Saturday well that's the plan anyway and hopefully the seatsport strut brace. Going to have to see if they arrive tomorrow or Friday. Coilies look to be next Monday now as top mounts and bearings havnt made it to the garage yet
Cheers for the continued support, really appreciate it!

Clearance will definitely be an issue if you have no adjusters lol. The exhaust will more than likely rattle or rest on a brake line bracket on the rear beam, so you could cut that off and reweld it a couple of inches across from the exhaust That could solve it, or it could just make the exhaust rattle on something else lol

Yeh few people say they have had issues but some don't so hopefully I'll be one of the later haha few people have also said they have bit then just had the exhaust loosened and tweaked abit. Will see, fingers crossed! Really don't want the adjusters in though
Yours could look like this....
No adjusters at rear, fronts as low as they go. 15mm spacers on back. FK Silverline x coilies
Most uncomfortable ride in any car i've ever been in. Bordering on being worse than a go kart in terms of ride quality. Handling was crap, car skipped over bumps instead of being compliant. Cats eyes became spine busters.
I've since raised it an inch or two and now it's a good balance between lows and handling IMO
Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

That looks fooking awesome! Haha weitecs don't go quite as low as that on the back though and I'll have the front up a tad to match.
Know a lad with a polo gti and he bought it with fk's and runs it silly low and r said the same, said you can feel everything and it's dead uncomfortable. That's why I went for weitecs again, with the White one it was still more comfortable than standard even running it as low a I did haha
Them pics just make me want the coilies on even worse! Is that the rs4 tip on the milltek too?

Thanks for the compliment
No, it's the old style tip for the Milltek. Damien has the RS4 tip I think, pics will be in his readers ride.
The front wheels scrubbed the arches soooo much with it at that level. I cut part of the arch liner away, but it was rubbing on the inside part of the wing which I can't really chop lol. As I said, I've raised it up a bit now for comforts sake
You're moving pretty quick with this car already, nice to see another 20VT Mk4 Cupra pop up, there's not been that many around on here
Looks like Monday now mate
garage have been waiting a few days on the top mounts and bearings and I keep having to chase them as they are always busy, bit of a pain. Half wish I'd have just got themmyself from sere motors and arranged to use the ramps at my weekend work. Don't have the spare time though really. Boss txt me to say seatsport strut brace has come, was hoping the forge turbo intake pipe would have arrived too so that could go on Saturday but doesn't sound like it :/ fingers crossed for tomorrow eh! Can't wait till it's all done, all this is a pain hahaThanks for the compliment

Yeh mines got te rs4 tip apparently, I like either though, both look smart. Is yours decat or got the sports cat on?
Yeh dot fancy having too many problems, deffo won't be as low as them pics of yours! You not gt a readers ride or anything? And compliments were due so no probs
And cheers, yeh I'm trying to just get it done up to a stage whilst I got the money there then itl be back to small updates. Just want to get it done so I can enjoy it! Just getting a pain waiting on parts and stuff haha

Mine's sports cat, I didn't fancy the emissions faff with decat, plus it needs extra stuff mapping out. Waiting on parts is a right pain, I've got all the stuff I need to service my car, except the magnetic sump plug I ordered hasn't turned up yet so I can't do much!
I don't have a readers ride thread, don't know why really, but it's a bit late to start now
I've done most of the mods I wanted to do, so if I put it up now it'd quickly drift off into the back pages of the forum 
Shame would have liked to have seen another for abit of inspiration!
Yeh I don't really want my exhaust fitting until it's booked in at the mappers, don't really want it registering a fault or burning out the sensors. Gonna be so happy when it's done, nearly got it mapped the weekend I got it to then get it tweaked once the mods are on but decided to hold out.

Lol, good decision Not much point getting a stage 1 map when you're going to go to stage 2 so soon afterwards.
I guess I could put up a readers ride thread with a spec and a few pics if it gives people a few ideas. Something to do later on.. I have a few pics from when I first got it so it can show a bit of change over the last couple of years.

I'm just impatient haha hope ths bloody tip arrives tomorrow then it's just coilies and exhaust to do. Want it all nooowwww haha
Yeh sounds a plan. Especially if you are going to carry on doing bits and bobs!

Yeh I have a few bits and bobs to do, but they'll be a while yet. Need to save some of my student loan when it turns up in september!
So what other plans do you have for your car after the first month has gone by then? Sounds like you'll be running out of things to do performance wise! Unless you change the turbo at some point of course.

Should get one up then
Yeh that was the idea to get as much performance stuff out the way as possible to get a strong base then just a couple of little exterior bits and bobs then I can just save my money monthly instead of spending it on the car and live a little more haha then as things break etc I'll upgrade them over time.
One thing I really do want though is a WOT box, awesome things! Don't even drive the car hard or ever need one but would be good fun haha
