suspension

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...

Search blah, already done a quick search before anyone says anything but all i could find was a Toledo front setup exploded! Has anyone right clicked and saved a front strut exploded diagram? rgds Daniel

I recently had my Arosa MOT'd, and it failed due to a leaking rear shock. Thats fair enough you may think, but I've got a receipt from before I bought it - for fitting new rear shocks! So that means the last pair fitted lasted 2 and a half years, and less than 10,000 miles! Now, my car...

I'm thinking about changing my suspension and will change the mounts and bearing at the same time if I do it. Having got some prices I've been quoted nearly £90 all in. But I've seen on vwspares.co.uk these parts: Front Mount & Bearing Rear Mount (Sports) Rear Mount Are these parts...

Hi , I am thinking on buying coilovers in the US/HK and i was wondering if anyone know if the mkV gti suspension options will work on the mk2 Cupra as well. to be specific i am looking at Tein Euro coilovers (mainly because they are cabin adjustable) or the bilstein pss10's. anyone with...

Hi, I'm new here so I hope I've put it in the right place. I have got a Seat Leon 1.6 Sport Late 2007 with about 15k on the clock. I know the ride is firm in the Sport but recently I've noticed the ride is getting increasingly harder and even the small bumps are annoying. I was wondering if...

Hi All, I've got a LCR 05 plate with 27k Took it out on Saturday and had to carry passengers which i don't normally do and all i could hear was a loud creaking noise from the rear passenger side. I got everyone to get out and drove it again and the noise stopped but started again when they...

Hi all, I bought a 2001 toled tdi a couple of months ago and soon noticed the rear underside can scrape when turning up steep hills unless the speed is kept low. However, I had a full complement of passengers the other night and was surprised to hear the scraping noise when going over smaller...

Hi people, I have just got hold of a nice 30k 225 LCR and want to sort it out handling wise. The car hasnt done a huge amount of miles but is still almost 5 years old. I plan to get a few bits together and get it all fitted at once. I'm not a mechanic or anything but have picked up alot...

I've had my Seat Ibiza (04 plate 1.9 TDI Sport) for a few weeks and since I got it whenever I go over a fairly harsh bump (or sometimes even just small bumps like a little pothole or drain cover) the suspension makes a loud banging sound, which sounds like it is coming from the passenger side...

If I can source FR suspension secondhand, is it lower than my standard tdi 110 suspension? If so, how much?

What's the difference between coilovers and suspension kits? I have no idea and would like to know as I want to lower my Cupra R 225. Cheers for any replies !

Anyone know if these guys are any good? I've seen and heard some nice reviews about their products on Civics and Evos but i've not seen any for Seats. Might be interested in asking if they do some.

I need to fit new new front lower wishbone bushes to my PD130 as they are shot! I'm going to fit the Cupra versions as from what I have read they are much better. Is it a job you can do yourself? Will I need any special tools to get the bushes in or out? Thanks!
