springs

Has anyone here added just springs to the FR instead of both new dampers and springs. Does it help much with ride quality? It has been suggested on here that the springs are the biggest factor in improving ride quality and that the dampers on the FR are sufficiently good already.

Hi Guys, Looking at getting my mum a set of lowering springs for Christmas (lol) for her 2007 Ibiza FR 130. Has anybody got any pictures of how well these sit on just lowering springs? If so, please post them :) and if you could let me know which springs you have that would be ace...

Any one got any idea how much the cupra lowering springs lower the car?

My ibiza fr has been lower 40mm but only on springs, but the inner edge on the tyres are really worn, what shall I do??? 4 wheel alignment or what???

Looking at these springs for my k1! Has anyone purchased them from there? I have read that this is the best kit for the mk2 leon, Is that true or should i be looking at different springs?

Not being funny but how do I know what springs I will have on my car? I am picking up an 07 later in the week and remember the 18s looking really nice. That led me to wonder if it had already had some modification made to the original suspension. Is there any obvious way for me to tell? Thanks.

I have a MK1 leon 1.6 16v looking at lowering it slightly. Is it hard to change the springs? Took a wheel off today and had a look. Didnt look to bad to take the unit out. I know i will have to take it to get aligned when ive done it tho.

My new Leon FR 170 tdi in Candy white is arriving on Thursday and I am looking to lower her. Can you guys give me some suggestions as to what springs I could fit? I also want to change the alloys so looking for suggestions on this too (sticking to 18" so I can use existing tyres).....for now...

Hi all, obviously want to lower my cupra, but dont want to waste my money on coilies and not go as low as they allow. So.. can people with lowering dampers and springs post a pic or 2 of what their cars look like with them and also say what kit they've got and how low they are. If i want to...

Has anyone on here fitted a set themselves on a Cupra ? just interested on how easy it is.

I have been doing a lot of searching and found coilovers to be what i want to go for,however i had a good read over warrens coilover sticky in this section, very interesting stuff. it brings me to question myself whether il benefit more from coilovers or shocks and springs. im not bothered...

Just a thought, is it possible to shorten the standard springs or are they taper-ended or reduced diameter on both ends of the spring? If not poss, I'll spring :lol: for a set of Eibach Sportlines.............

Potentially simple answer. I tried changing my springs the other day due to the crystal clear advice of james walker :D However, on removal of the lower nut, and the top nut, I couldn't for the ****ing life of me get the bottom of the suspension pillar out of the clamp. I'd used a chisel...

as the title says, just looking into getting some new shocks and springs for 1.9tdi ibiza mk4. as the front spring went bang last week :shrug:. would like a little bit of lowering but more important is better handling & ride over choppy roads. had alook at dpm site and have to say i now little...

Looking to lower the car next month, but wil be going for springs as cant afford coilies at the moment. Car is the 2.0 sport, will springs advertised as FR springs and cupra springs fit on the car. Pain as no one advertises with the sport! Ross

Just found out that my spring is green[:@]. It was delivered like that. Apparently I need a yellow one to deal with the higher psi that my custom coded LCR is running at. Forge want £10 + for it and then £7.20 postage. Ouchh! Anyone found a source to get one abit more reasonably priced? Cheers...

was just wondering if a3 petrol springs the same year as a mk1 leon would they fit a mk1 petrol leon???

after being told that my lcr failed its mot yesterday because 1 of the rear springs had snapped(and i hadnt noticed) i rang a parts dealer 2day to get new 1s,but i was asked if the car had sports set up or the standard set up,so im just wandering if this was a choice when the car was new or do...

Took my car today for a full service, and when they rang me saying its ready he also told me i have both springs on the back which are broken:cry: Is this a commen problem or just have they just gave up?? Also i was thinking of lowering the car a touch now this is the perfect reason to...
