ride

I have a 57 plate Leon FR TDI which I love, but my other ride is the [B)]

Hello lads, Due to having my first born later this year I have been selling my cars and still have the Jetta up for sale. In exchange I, again wanted something quick which offers me space. Also wanted a bit of luxury... ended up with a BMW 325i e30 from 1990 Was a cheap buy, especially...

Hi Folks, I am new here so hello. I am thinking of buying my wife's work FR which has 85K miles on it. It has standard tyres and fittings etc on it. It is a great car to drive and very responsive. However I do not find the ride very relaxing which is hardly surprising since it is a sports...

My 2002 v5 170 has 103k on it and the suspension is, to say the least, no longer at its best. I need to retain the standard ride height due to a combination of towing, unmade tracks and speed humps. The car only gets used on the road so my question is can anyone recommend replacement road shocks...

Chaps, I am starting to get really annoyed with the ride quality on my 56 FR, its a joke! So are Eibach Sportlines an answer to this to any degree? I have read some people say they soften the ride up quite noticeably, while lowering the car to get rid of the MPV like arches!! So do you...

My 2.0 SX of 1998/9 has been lowered a lot by a previous owner but I'm not sure how much. Could some one with a standard 2.0 SX measure from the very centre of their axle line up to the midday position and tell me the distance (preferably metric) to the very edge of the wing, both front and...

Here is my current ride: 2003 Seat Leon Top Sport 1.9 PD TDI that how he looks before I put my hand on him :) As you can see on my previous cars, my "modification bug" couldn't stand it and I started from: - S3 pedals and foot rest, - Leon Cupra R splitter, - Skoda Fabia...

Hello all, I need a favour, i have risen/lowered and changed the alloys on my car so much over the past 6 months that i have no idea anymore of how much it is actually now lowered by. Could any of you LCR owners out with standard suspenion be kind enough to measure from the ground to the...

thought i should make a a thread before i forget again some pictures from advert i bought and a picture of when i collected and sent off for a full valet Engine: Carbonio Cold Air Intake ( i did have a green panel filter but swapped with mike FR+ ) Unsure of a remap or chip , was...

I've been looking about the Mk2 forum searching for folks scraping their cars and thought I'd start my own thread to get some more feedback. Last night I was driving out of my gf's street with a full car (myself & 4 lassies :funk:) when I went slowly (5mph) over a speed cushion when CRUNCH...

Well I never thought see the day where I`d be writing this :-( After 3 years of pleasant`ish ownership I`ve just waved her off, shes gone to a good home I belive with him being a car enthusiast. Just like to say what a GREAT forum this has been! Got me out of a few dodgy issues I had with...

Some of you might know that i had to sell my beloved LCR because of new job. Its was a sad day, but thursday i picked up my new car which eased the pain alittle. Its a 2006 Audi A4 2.0TDI S-line, took it away to a wedding at the weekend and was amazed at just how comfortable the ride was and...

Been looking at lowering springs and noticed all the 1.8t springs are 40mm 45mm etc, so what is the cupra r lowerd by allready, 45mm springs would lower an lcr by what?

I have owned some good performance cars in my time but as the title says why is my 06 TFSI so bloody hard :( It twangs about the road ,with scuttle shake sometimes and the ride is just poor :shrug:is this the norm . I had a 53leon cupra R and the ride was spot on what have the Pedro's done...

I just wondered, as far as it's possible, could anyone here with fsds on their FR describe in a percentage the improvement in ride quality you get with the Konis? I only ask as I'm trying to work out whether it's worth me upgrading. I'm having a hard time adjusting to the new car and unable to...

I finally bought my fr on friday and love everything about it except... the firmness is breaking my back. I test drove the car and didn't notice the hard ride then, I suppose it was just that I was on smoother roads. I got the car home and been driving it around and, my god. My girlfriend is...

Hi yall Just got a TDI Sport 130, wowed by the power and economy Its a nifty little motor but i find the suspension plain potty! It seems really hard but not in a sporty way, rather more in a bumpy leery way- (I'm coming from a Mk2 Golf gti by the way) Ive searched on the forum and you...
