suspension

Im currently doing my front suspension but i cant get the drivers side Strut out.. the top nut is off and so is the arb bolt along with the Hub bolt now i cant push it down as the drive shaft it touching the wishbone bracket and the strut wont go up any more as its hitting the under side of...

does the stock mk1 Leon FR suspension set the car any lower? I mean I have now a 1,6 16v and I could buy a stock FR suspension set, will this setup be any lower then the existing stock set I do have right now? is it worth the change over the one I have now? or just save the money for an "el...

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...

hi guys.. had my FR a week now and as soon as i got it i noticed a high pitched sound when i got over a bump... its become more noticable over time. it sounds like it is coming from the suspension or shocks but it sounds like it is more in the cockpit so dunno whether it is vibration iin...

Hi guys I'm looking into some suspenders for my LCR. Recently fitted Powerflex bushes and Neuspeed ARBs front and rear. Not sure if coilovers or just a spring/damper kit is the way to go? The car does get a kicking on the road but I do like some degree of comfort and I also do about 2...

Im going to be changing my suspension springs when they arrive.. I was reading the guide to changing them and it says that you need a "Special Tool" to get your old springs off the shocks.. Could someone tell me what this "Special Tool" is and where i buy 1 from? Also is this the same for the...

right guys our poor wee LCR is in need of a suspension refresh. what i'm looking for is a set of cheapish coilovers/ springs/shocks that i can just bolt in with no faffing about ie the whole ARB nonesense, i juwat want something that will be a direct replacement for the stock suspension...

Hi folks I drive 1.4 petrol SE model does any one know why during the cold weather it creeks and groans. It sounds like its comming from the suspension or shock absorbers. The odd thing is this noise totally goes away when the warmer months are here. Its been like this from new and the dealer...

I recently brought a Seat Arosa 1.0 Sport, the previous owner cut the front springs in half and removed the rear springs to lower the car cheaply (Idiot!). Because of him totally removing the rear springs i need to find out what bump stops and bushes i need and where they are fitted on the...

Evening all, Im looking it lowering my cupra r, but not 100% sure what to get. Really dont want to spend any more than £400, but wanting a drop in ride height and to up rate the handling (dont want to get into the whole arb discussion! ha) So do I... A) Spax or equivalent lowering springs...

Hi Any one on here tell me if a MK5 coilover kit will fit a MK2 Leon? What are the differences in the suspension setup- if any?? I currently have a MK5 but am contemplating selling and getting a Leon. Cheers

Do the LC's and LCR's have the same suspension or not. I was just randomly searching for things on ebay today, and ended up looking for coilovers. i saa some from the same company/seller, but one for LC and one for LCR. Are they different?

Just before Christmas many pot holes started appearing where i live with the bad weather.. now im noticing like a squeaky / creaky suspension .. not sure wether its coming from the back or the front of the car. squeaks a bit when its just me in the car but more noticeably when there's 2 or...

Hey guys, My spring has snapped on passenger side suspension and trying to work out what parts I need to order and how it all goes together up there! Has anyone got an exploded diagram for a Mk4 Ibiza 2004 TDi Sport 130 ?! It would be amazing!!! Thanks -Stu

Hi everyone, I have just bought a 110 TDI SE, I am not a big modder with wheels and suspension usually being the only mods I will do. My question is what would you reccommend, I like to have the car looking fairly standard so I am torn between the 17" Starfish and the 18" LCR alloy wheels...

Ok I have the following mods: AP Coilovers Cupra Bushes SuperPro Front Poly Bushes Forge Front Strut Brace Whiteline Rear Anti Roll Bar But I'll be quite honest...I've never been impressed with the handling. It still can't come close to my old go-kart Corsa setup...but it's getting...

Good evening I have my mrk4 on standard 17" wheels. Will I be able to lower the carat all without fouling arches. Has anyone done this and be able to give me some advice. Thanks in advance. Rob

Hi all, I posted recently asking for advice because when I had passengers in the back I was hearing rubbing/grinding sounds when going over bumps and up hills etc. Anyway, it turns out the rubbing is my stiff and low mudflaps, phew! Today I switched on the air recirculate button and it...

I was just wondering if anyone knew what the suspension bolts that are visable from inside the engine bay actually bolt into? The bolts i am on about are the 3 that are on the top of the strut tops on the front. The reason i am asking is that one of mine is knackered and the thread that the bolt...

Ok, before all the haters start, i've used the search :p I'm looking to upgrade the suspension on my 2001 LC, as the standard setup is, well, shite tbh. So i have a few questions: 1) What other ARB's from other marques fit? I've heard of r32 ones but any others? 2) What ARB's come on the...
