suspension

Hi Guys what would you recomend for upgrading the suspension in a Mk1 leon cupra R, i have seen some kits on ebay for £200. Or are they not worth it, any recomondations or is the standard suspension good enough already, just wants something a little lower.

***NEW CAR! AND ANOTHER UPDATE... (POST 532, PAGE 27)*** Plans/to do: Got an H&R rear 28mm ARB to fit. Going to get it properly mapped by Dave Manson. Also got an oil catch can to fit. Just bought a Forge Intercooler also, to replace the botched Laguna one :) Specification: Engine...

ok, im looking at options to lower my tdi Fr, Im not looking for a huge drop, (between 30-40mm) i dont really want to drop it to the floor, as its a daily driver and i go along quite a few B-roads, so the comfort still needs to be there, whilst still gaining a subtle drop in ride height...

Does anyone know if the JOM 40mm spring and shock kit for the leon sold by DPM will fit the toledo? Seen a golf with this kit on and its exactly the look I want It'll also help me avoid worn shocks that'd I'd get with just using 40mm springs Any help or alternatives would be greatly...

wondering wich springs are the best for a cupra? eibach? or spax? and will springs that come of a toledo fit on a cupra? seen some on fleebay!

I have got one leaking shcok absorber, but I have been having problems before. They have been a really annyoing squeeking sound when going over speedbumps, I used to put this down to the bushes but I have had them replaced so Im thinking I might well not be them. The only parts not changed...

hi there a, saving the pennys at the mo but my first point of call is to buy a suspension kit for my car. right im not after silly 90mm dropps as im not doing it for looks . i just want it to be abit lower round the bends as i like the occasionall b road blast . im after shocks and springs but...

awrite, am looking into suspension for my mk1 leon fr150, just wondering what kinda set up to get, keeping the standard wheels and looking to go 40mm! any ideas? cheers, scott

I am about to embark on a major suspension makeover on the LCR. After 49,000 miles the original component’s are starting to get a little tired, things are getting a somewhat crashy to say the least. After reading some of the excellent threads on the subject I have decided to go down the...

Well it never rains but it pours!! :D Noticed the car not handling as well of late but have been too busy to check it out. Had a look over the tires tonight and all seemed fine on first inspection. After looking a little harder at the front right tire I noticed the inside of the tire was...

Hi all, put 18's on a 1.6 Ref today, now looks like a 4x4. The ET on the 18's is 33 so that's not helping as they stick out a little too far. Can someone please tell me what the ideal ET is and how much drop I'll need from the standard ride height. I've dropped a few Golfs before and had issues...

Ok not sure this si the right place btu i guess its good info for the leon owners that entrust complete mupets. as we discovered yesterday/thursday my suspension looks like this. and this is WRONG ... SO VERY WRONG!!! should look like this. Cheers again LEE69. so i drove up to B&Q...

My first SEAT........

Hey folks, In the next couple of months, my next planned mod is to sort the suspension out, on 17"s my car sits higher than a tractor, so I plan to get new suspension. I don't really think im going to go the coilover route, I don't need adjustable height and im not planning on going round...

ok, come for a trip with me, open the bonnet and look at the top of your turrets. you have the nut inside the inverse dome shapped bit with the rubber edge then bellow that there is a black circle of metal. this black circle is loose on the passenger side! is this bad? is this normal...

looking to get some decent 2nd hand springs for my Leon, from what vehicles would they fit onto mine?? There are some mk4 ibiza ones for sale in the for sale section, would they do? Ive heard the ones for a mk4 golf would also fit??? Any others? Thanks alot. :) :D

Now sometimes I swear my car is psychic, I was looking at suspension kits the other day, I got in the car, reversed out the drive, and as I went to turn the steering wheel I heard a 'clunk' type sound from the front right wheel area. I haven't had too much chance between then and now to drive...

Anyone know if the suspension can be softened a little? If so how much hassle is it and approx cost?

Hi All, I've pondered replacing my 2001 Toledo TDI (110) now with 170k on the clock. I've decided against trading it in as it's worthless according to the dealer. It's never put a foot wrong for me....bar the MAF. Anyway, I'm going to spend a few quid to get it new again. I want to replace...

Hi guys, firstly does a Cupra or MK2 suspension fit on a 2001 1.6 Sport?? Can you buy a coilover kit ment for cupra and fit it to my car or does it have to be the kit that says specifically for my car?? Secondly I dont know if there is many 1.6 owners out there but does anyone know any tips for...
