suspension

Hi, I too really want to change my suspension (koni FSD) on my FR for a smoother ride because it's ridicules.. I thought I could put up with it.... I can't. Even contemplating selling the car because I dislike the bumpy crashy ride soo much. I love the rest of the car though.. Has anyone in...

i have recently bought a mkv gt tdi140 and have lowered it with -50mm eibach sportline springs/ seat leon k1 shockers (cos back ones were leaking) the K1 suspension is same as golf but the Leon cupra & K1 has forged alloy hubs & wishbones (similar to old mkiv vs cupra r setup) with r32 calipers...

Recently I;ve noticed theres a creaking noise coming from the rear of my LCR. You can just hear it when you are slowly pulling away from a stand still and also when I get out of the car. You can hear it quite loud when you push the car from side to side. Only thing is, its not always there...

Basically...My rear shockers have pretty much gone, so decided it's time for an upgrade. I have a limited budget, and want a fairly standard OEM feel, and slightly improved handling. I'm not really looking to lower it too much as I quite like my ground clearance! I've been looking...

Is the rear suspension on the Ibiza SC independent or does it have a rigid axle?

my car recently failed the mot on a few small issues, one being the front shock absorber has excessive play on the pivot. which part is the pivot? i have new strutt tops and bearings and coiovers which are relatively new. i was thinking about getting new coilovers anyway but wandered if the...

Im fitting AP coilovers to my ibiza this sunday and wounderd if it makes much diference spraying WD40 on to the strut base where its clamped in so it might help with it freeing up on removal or do they budge valy easily also same for the drop link top bolt which is conected to the strut. Or is...

Hey folks, Last Saturday I had a Seat sport suspension kit fitted (and aligned on the Monday). Only real chance of a good drive was last night, and it has made a MASSIVE difference! Transformed the car's handling completely, it seemed to really grip the corners a lot tighter and the...

Hi there, My car is in for its service and of course, seat phoned me to say there was a whole list of problems. Tyres (i work next to a tire shop so ignore that one) Discs and pads (tyre shop lads tell me there fine and i have to say the pads look not even half) And suspension bushes...

Hey guys, im looking to lower my car next and having a look around here there seems alot of advice on what/how/where to get it lowered etc. As im a student i dont have much (any) money :cry: so im really looking for the cheapest way but for it to be still effective, i dont want it to handle...

Ok as the title suggests im seriously thinking about upgrading my standard suspension on my tdi 90 leon.. I have apex springs in at the min and they dont give me the desired ride height and handling i would like. I was thinking coilovers for the adjustability, but im a noob when it comes to...

now let me just get this straight. the chassis and suspension on the mk4 6L ibiza is the same as the polo 9N and the audi a2 ok just tell me to stop beeing stupid and get on with it! :popcorn:

well i got a set of coilovers fitted and have made a massive difference to the handling of the car, but what else is advisable to do to make it better? its a 2003 cupra. any links to parts are muchly apreciated!!

don't worry, this isn't a coilover question and I have searched just wondering if anyone here knows if the Polo GTi springs and shocks setup will fit the Ibiza? asking this because I drove past a guy (not from this forum) who had his FR TDi running on Polo GTi setup and looked just...

Just thought I'd better post this for anyone else that may be waiting on this happening or thinking of purchasing G-max suspension in the future. A Couple of days ago I started hearing a knocking noise from the front nearside or my Leon Cupra. There seemed to be a fair bit of play in the rear...

Been on here for about a year an been meaning to do a readers ride thread so here goes. 1st of all brought a Leon cupra 180 an march 2008, had it with for 4 months an many things went wrong so then part exchanged it for my brought my 2nd Leon it came with some mod’s on it, here is a picture...

I have just purchased some new suspension for my FR, not coilovers but it should lower the car by 35mm. The question I have is, what bushes would be wise to replace? Front wishbone and front rear wishbone? front strut top mounting and bearing? Would anyone be able to tell me if there are...

right, one of my shocks has a slight leak. currently have bilstein (fully adjustable) pss9 kit lowerd by 40mm whats the best thing to do? do i have to buy the same make or can i just get another kit that give the same ride height? any ideas welcome. thanks
