Hi All, I want to replace the suspension on my toledo V5 but I was wondering if there is a how to guide knocking around here before I start? Cheers Alex

Hello, Just been away on hols and the car has developed a rather annoying THUD which appears to come from the front passenger wheel area. It is more more noticable over harsh bumps at low speed <40mph. It did do it the odd time before but now it is a lot more common. Could something...

Hello all, this is my first post so greetings. I am thinking of getting a petrol FR but I'm a bit concerned about the firm ride. Is there anything in the way of modifications to the suspension which are worth considering? Thanks

Hey all, SWMBO bought a 06 2.0 TDI 140 Leon Sport, and to be honest we find the ride a little bit too stiff, now I had considered changing the springs to the Eibach pro kit, but another option I was thinking is maybe picking up the Cupra suspension on the cheap, we cant really afford FSDs etc at...

I know the lower strut brace is from an S3, but do they share any other suspension components from other cars?

Hi guys I've just recently fitted some new alloys, and when I got the tyres put on them the mechanic noticed my front driver side spring has the end snapped off. Basically at the end of the spring its supposed to curl round back on itself, making a circle but now its just a semi circle and...

Does this look way too low? :S this side is lower than the driver side update, just noticed the front left suspension, it doesn't look good!!! guessing need a new suspension :S

Does anyone have any experience / recommendations regarding a way of reducing roll in my 2008 170bhp diesel Freetrack. The suspension feels hard, but the car leans alarmingly through corners and around roundabouts far more so than my wife's C-Max fitted with sports suspension.

Right, im thinking about changing my standard fr suspension. But what to? I want something thats going to handle well but not be bone crushingly harsh. was thinking maybe adjustable coilovers? (damping adjustable that is) but do i really need them? I dont want to lower the car for looks...

can any body tell me what the ride is like as was thinking of getting coilovers but have been looking at the set of seat sport suspension on tebay but not sure what to go for ? plus i only want to drop the car around 20mm

Are the front top mounts the same for the 16v as the 8v? euro car parts has like a 20 quid difference. I've just bought some coilovers...should i replace rear top mounts aswell? cheers

Well after achieving 148,000 miles (going through an engine, clutch, gearbox and two kkk turbos an two rad's) on the stock suspension my TDI Sport has started to grumble alot with every pebble it passes, Time to upgrade... I'm not bothered about drastic lowering, but want a bit more...

Hi Guys, Apologies if this has been discussed before, however i'm at work and dont have a whole lot of time for searching! I've been considering improving the handling on the car, and coilovers seems to be quite popular, however i personally dont want the car riding too low, as i dont want...

guys, having nearly perfected my handling setup with the mods in my signiture, i now wish to put the final piece in. new nice and stiff limited body roll suspension setup. now, i have read alot on the following brands, setups... dont want to spend a fortune, 350 would be tops really so...

I am looking at upgrading the suspension on my 04 FR 20VT, I want the ride to be as comfy but roll lots less! I am going for cupra front wishbone rear bushes and new topmounts etc. I have some SuperSport suspension sitting brand new in a box, however I have had second thoughts about fitting it...

Hi, I'm running a 2001 Leon Cupra with original shocks & recently fitted Eibach pro kit springs . I'm having to have a wheel bearing replaced & the mechanic has identified that the front dampers may be starting to go. I have wanted to eliminate more of the body roll at some point but don't...

guys, have the chance to purchase some weitec ultra ts for a fantastic price, there froma bora 1.9tdi? now, i know mk4 golf shocks and springs fit the leon cupra, IS THE BORA THE SAME... I PRESUME IT IS. THE SPRING WEIGHTS WILL MATCH BEING A TDI, SAME SPRUNG WEIGHT AS THE 1.8T? IS THIS...

Hi guys, I really want to change my 16" alloys on my TDI mk1 leon. Using the standard fitted tyres for each size wheel (17" 215/45, 18" 225/40) it looks like the overall circumference of the wheel will be reduced and i'll be left with a big arch gap. I dont want to go down the lowering...

Hi Simple question, can I retrofit the onboard computer from the SE to the S? You know, the little stick. Also, getting some new suspension bits soon, do I need to get some new top mounts, or is it just beneficial? Cheers ladiez.
