Ive got them on mine, and whilst they need adjusting (back it a touch high, front a touch low(for commuting)) they are fairly impressive. Over multiple small bumps you can get a bit of bobbing (no more than other coilovers though).

Next trackday is Feb 21st, so thats when they will be used in vain and wound right down.
The car certainly puts the power down alot better now, and im actually quite pleased. The ride is pretty much the same as the standard cupra, albeit a lot lower in stance.

You dont get the spanners with the kit to adjust it however. So you will need to add that into the price if you want to do it yourself. AMD are getting me a price for these when the AP factory reopens.

C spanner should be included!

Otherwise how the fluck are they adjusted!

I'd get onto whoeever you bought them from.

Are droplinks included with the kit? Or did they need to be bought separetly? Also, do they go low enough to put it on its arse?!?! Anybody taken helper springs and adjuster cups out?

No droplinks in the package.

If helper springs were removed then front should sit nice and low as im just above the tyre with helper spring in and some thread left. Rear is a different story. Wound all the way down at the moment and it sits about an inch above the tyre. If adjustor was removed then it should sit about half an inch to an inch lower.

DIFT, you got any pictures of it and how much have you got it lowered for daily driving?


Not got a of at the moment, so using my iPhone to surf at the moment. But once I have it back I'll post a picture. The front is currently so low that the top of tyre is well inside the arch. This needs to go up a touch. I can get two fingers between the arch and wheel on the back. Will get my c spanners of Amd soon.
