ride

I am about to order a new FR diesel. will probably get the 18" wheels option but.... When i test drove it att the dealer the ride seemed very hard. Is it just me? my current 1.8 Cupra MK1 dosent seem anywhere near as bumpy a ride. would 17" wheels make much difference? thanks

Have had the car for two weeks or so now. I like many aspects of the car but ride quality and road noise are the main bugbears. The ride is undeniably firm. This im sure helps the handling but on rough or potholed roads its uncomfortable, especially compared with the Megane I had previously...

okay chaps, I'm bored at work and this is the only thing i can thing of. Just want to have a small discussion on who out there has the best ICE setup and also this will enable us to share ideas on ICE. I'll start with myself............... ALPINE CDA-9851R Head unit JENSON 500WATT...

Hi, Ive read several reviews on the FR now, one reoccuring issue in all is the hard ride. I relaise this is subjective but would appreciate owners views on how bad this really is. I have done a test drive but with concentrating on other things only noticed it was bit jittery. Is at...

My FR was delivered on Wednesday, here are a few pics. Only option was 18" rims and I've fitted the trim kit too. Hope you like, might help those on chosing their colour as I could not find a red one to look at.

Can anything be done about the ride on my car? I'm constantly trying to dodge bumps and i must look drunk from behind! Don't want to spend much but want a slightly smother ride . . . . Or do i trade it for a jag?

Some photo's of my new R. Let me know what you think of the photo's :D No mod's at the moment besides some uprated bulbs.:lol:

Just been for my final rag in the Cupra. Car is back to standard now and IMO it pulls better than it ever has wilst modified. Got an average MPG of 13 on about a 10 mile trip. Remembered tonight just how quick the Cupra is in standard form (not excedding local limits obviously). Has anyone...

hey guys, i'm soon to be an owner of a new leon Stylance, will be getting it in about 2 weeks once the paperwork is complete, i'm in Hungary for a few years and thought that this would be a good vehicle for my needs, here is my other ride back home. [/URL] I hope to enjoy the...

Drove to brimingham and back yesterday (approx 230 miles). This was my first long drive since i purchased the leon. However i found the following: Excellent and enjoyful acceleration :D Passengers at the front and back found the ride very unconfortable. :( Can i assume this is due to...

Currently got some koni springs on my cupra- handles ok, but the ride is soo crap. Really need to sort it asap, Question is do i get the koni sports adjustable damper kit, or should i pay a bit more and get fk coilovers?- I heard a few people say the ride is quite harsh with the fk's though...

just wondered if anyone had air ride on their seat.had many vw in the past and saw alot of them with air ride at shows etc but never seen a seat

Toying with selling the LCR because it's coming up to the end of it's warranty period & think it's the right time. Very impressed with the Golf GTI & RS32 with DSG boxes. What I noticed most was the improved ride & handling over the LCR. If I keep the LCR I want to improve ride & handling...

Iv got seat sport kit on my car but i want it lower now. As iv got good dampers and i dont want to go to low im thinking of getting some springs, could people please post there hights and set up for me, iv taken the mesuermant as shown in pic, mine is 145mm from side skirt to floor. Also a...

A lot of the articles in the press praise the Leon for everything but it's ride quality (especially on the Sport) and I'm making an educated guess that the FR is going to be the same seeing a it appears to be a Sport in different clothes. I've developed a bit of a love/hate relationship with...

Ok folks, I have had a call this afternoon from SEAT Sport UK, with, what is simply a mind blowing once in a lifetime opportunity for a few lucky people on the forum. :) This Saturday 20th May, between 4.50pm to 5.40pm, around 20 of you lucky SEAT owners, will get the opportunity of a few...

I have fitted a new Reiger F2-like front bumper to my ibiza and it looks VERY low Its 70mm off the ground and looks like it will fall off if I hit some gravel on the road :D what do other people have and is it workable ? Cheers Rob

I have fitted my v5 with a set of 18'' bbs wheels from a TT but the ride is v poor although the wheels are balances they wobble, this is greater under acceleration and not as evident when cruising also the grip isnt great, my standard wheels had budget tyres on them and i seem to have lost...
