height?

[ibizasport16v]

anyone know how low the 56 plate sport is compared to the basic models?

I take it its about 10 mm?

I belive it's the same across the range

 

[gazjones]

i belive they are all the same height. look in the tech spec in the brochure that will say the height of the car

 

[ibizasport16v]

its just that in the brochure and the website it says "sports" suspension, id imagine that means its lowered

i stand corrected the sport and the referenceand even the cupra model are the same height...took me forever to find it tho

you are right all ibizas are the same height 1441mm but as rim size goes from the refrece with 14" wheels to the cupra with 17" the cupra suspension would be lower and stiffer so the cupra suspension in theory should be 1-2 inchs lower and stiffer

You sure about that?

The 14" wheels will be running a much higher profile tyre than the 17"

195/55R15
205/40R17

Gives a virtually identical radius...

I think the suspension on the Cupra is slightly lower than the others. This is from the SEAT media release when it was introduced:

"The Ibiza Cupra also has a lower ground clearance than the FR versions. The front shaft has been lowered by four millimetres and the rear by thirteen, placing them at the same level and lowering the car's centre of gravity."
