    Ride comfort

    Hi. I just wanted to know what was the best way to help ride comfort, other than getting new wheels. I just wanted to know if I could change my suspension for a Golf or something along those lines that would help ride comfort and control. Thanks in advance.

  3. My Ride so far

    Hope you like the pics just fitted these AP's tried them without the base plate but thought they were to low plus gave it a tail low look.Front was already low enough in my opinion. Would love it about 10mm lower at the back but unless it settles over the next few weeks then im buggerd.But at...
  4. Ride performance

    will an FR 170 which has been dropped on eibach coilovers with 19" alloy wheels have a better performance than the standard car? i would have thought so because the car is going to be closer to the floor but i was recently corrected and told that my 19's are goin to make the car sluggish?? is...

    Improving Ride Comfort

    As a few of you will know I've fitted a set of FK Konigsport coilovers to my PD130. They are dampening adjustable as well as height adjustable. The dampening has 4 settings. When I first fitted the kit I set the dampening to 2 at the front and 3 at the rear. This left the car slightly bouncy...

    Sportrider ride height

    Not that I'm a big fan of lowered suspension but I have noticed that my dads 1.4 sportrider is considerably lower than my 1.8T FR, even though the 2 cars have the same wheels/tyres fitted. Dads sportrider deffo looks to me like it is lowered, theres hardly any clearance between the arches and...

  12. Best ride height?

    Had a search but couldn't really find the answer. Im going original and getting 16" Cupra wheels. Im also going to lower it on cupra shocks with lowering springs. Now I can either get 40 or 60mm. Whats the best to go for? Pics would be nice too :D

    An idea for those with multi-page build / Readers ride threads

    How about putting a 'key moment' list in the first post with links to pages of significant changes / information? It might be a lot of work, but it would help those who want an overview of the project without wading through pages of chat.
  15. Improving my LCR ride

    Right some serious advice needed. As my LCR is lowered on coilovers, what parts should i replace or uprate for a better ride Its had 4 new tyres put on but as its going in for full alignment i want to replace common parts prone to failure. Cheers peeps.

  18. Ride Quality

    Had my Cupra K1 for six months and I am v.pleased with the car overall. However, the ride quality is starting the cause a problem. I find it ok but my wife is increasingly complaining about the ride. Searching the forums, some of you guys mention that fitting Koni FSD dampers may help. Any...

    Lowering Springs with decent ride?

    Yes I've searched, lots. :p I've advertised for some standard springs but if that doesn't come off due to prohibitive postage costs I will look into getting some mild lowering springs. I'm not 100% on what springs are on my car, it used to be owned by ScottyP's missus and he bought if off...
