15's and H&R cup kit....

[CupraTgirl]

yea i cant decided wether to get the h & r or spend a bit more on some coilovers ?

I had an H & R Cup Kit for my first cupra but never had it fitted before i had to sell the car, i sold the kit too as i didnt think i would need it and now i have got another cupra so a bit annoyed

IIRC the kit is VERY good and i would say the only point to having Coilovers and after questioning it LOADS myself, i wouldnt get them unless you are going to go on a track or go to shows where you need to adjust them but its up to you as its your money

yea... most will I think.

got 15's on the spare ibiza cupra on my drive.

Did you say "Spare Ibiza Cupra" on your drive?

soo if i get fk coilover for my cupra and lower it abit.... with 15mm spacers its gonna rub on 17's, the wheels are pretty much same offset as standard

 

[sirjimalot]

ive got 17's its dropped 70mm on the front i have no problems and i can make it over speedhumps, and i have a mamoth one at the end of my street, oh and i have an lcr splitter now which just clears everything ive tried

just gets on my mates drive

 

[sirjimalot]

H&R + 17"s will be fine.
No rubbing at all. Best to get correct offset and you'll be fine. You wont be able to rub hubcentric spacers though at the back. Heard some people have cheapy 10mm ones from halfords. Though choice is yours if you want these!

i had 15mm hubcentric ones on the back the when i got coilovers had to use the crappy halfrauds 10's but now i get no rubbing

 

[Rick-24]

i didnt think the h&r kit is very comfy ride?.... surely going very low is gonna destroy the handling not to mention feeling every lilttle pebble in ur ass....i'd rather have it lowered abit from standard as u go to low its gonna **** up all the camber/caster toe etc...but suppose each to there own

15's will look too small for the euro look on the ibiza , they might work on mk2 golfs and polos but the ibizas front arches will eat them my 16's sometimes look too small, and then theres the lowering mines on coilovers about 55mm and thats the most i takemit down as the bumper and sump will catch, but the gap between the arch and the tyre is still too much.

are you sure?

this on is on air but a good set wil drop it like this

 

[sirjimalot]

thats on air?

looks photshopped to me

 

[beezaturbo]

the back wheel looks too far forward, looks photoshopped

 

[dj_bigfella]

looks photoshopped to me too but that does look great though

 

[sirjimalot]

yeah does look good, also u can see where the arch has been cut round and there is som black around the rim,,

 

[ibizacupra]

Did you say "Spare Ibiza Cupra" on your drive?

not complete I add.

 

[Rick-24]

[redgt]

[Deleted member 9043]

no photoshop

 

[beattie17]

that car is awesome,those rims expensive :O

 

[beattie17]

How much is yours lowered by?

Mines is on bottom of fk coilovers at front and about 20mm off bottom of coilovers at bk. so what ever the lowest setting is thats what i am

 

[sirjimalot]

no photoshop

the first one still looks really photoshopped though

 

[dj_bigfella]

wow that's beautiful

 

[Rick-24]

Damn u really think that looks beautiful..... them tyres look seriously wank, surely if u get pull by the pigs wiv that they will do ya, looks like accident waiting to happen. sorry not my cup of tea. wudnt like to go down country roads at speed with them on
