Cupra Springs - Diesel/Petrol

[jacko_86]

Quick question really,

I've got an Ibiza 1.9tdi Sport and last year put some Koni sport springs on. Not really liking the ride quality and the fact that they threw my front geometry out causing some excessive tyre wear. I know I could have slotted the lower a-arms to correct the extra negative camber or played with the slop in the joint to correct but just don't want to modify those parts of the car.

I have recently purchased a set of Mk4 Cupra springs from a 1.8t, my question is, are these springs the same as the Cupra diesel in terms of spring rate?!

Cheers!

I dont think so no, the diesel springs are stiffer for the heavier front axle weight.

Thats what I thought. Thought that as they were both Cupras that they might get the same springs although that wouldn't make a great deal of sense due to the heavier diesel. Cheers.
