what suspension do you have, just lowering springs or coilovers

 

[dan-seat-ibiza]

I've got FK coilovers

just keep going untill your happy. i love low cars but as the cupras are quick cars id suggest not too go too low otherwise u will damage something lol

Thankyou an I've owned the ibiza a few weeks now I've brought wheels and coilovers but because I wanted a cupra but couldn't insure one because of my age I'm going to slowly turn my 1.4 16v into a cupra next on my list to do is find some cupra side shirts then the outside will be complete then the interior then next year followed by the 1.8 20v turbo

changing a 1.4 into a cupra just buy a cupra more trouble than its worth. as for ride height mine is set at 600mm from ground to centre of wheels arch low enough and still clear the speed humps, running at the same ride height as phil think it suits the car better

its only 60cm alex its low as my low entry racing jack wont fit under the side skirts

I wish I could get insured on a cupra I've just turned 18

I was only kidding mate, Ive lowered mines 50mm, never measured it from the ground, just on the coilover. I just drive my car onto 2 blocks of wood if my jack wont go under

You can insure a Cupra at 18 lol, Itll be expensive but ive seen it done.

I will try in july wen my insurance runs out I no its £1400 for my 1.4

 

[dan-seat-ibiza]

I think I'm going to lower mine about 60/70mm

 

[chris_200120vt]

can remember fitting the rear coilovers left them at what weitec set them at lowered the jack the back box was on the floor bit of adjustment needed . found it easy adjusting taking measurment from the ground to center of wheelarch

18 and your paying £1400 think you need to shop around at 18 my polo 16v was only £600 now at 25 cupra is £520 . i had a argument with my insurance company as from 18-23 my insurance stayed a the same price when i was quoted on the cupra they said it was cheaper i asked why is a 1.8t cheaper than a 1.4 all i got was so the polo went

 

[dan-seat-ibiza]

The problem is that I had a policy already with co op on my old car but doesn't finish till july so then I can start shoppin around

got my cupra when i was 19 and have a clean licence ,insurance was steep but i did jump from a 1.0 arosa to the 1.8. after the first year it did drop massivly , add about 1000-1200 to your current policy and you've got a cupra

hmmm let see if we work on ratios uve got a 1.4 now so thats like a group 5 at the most
cupra is group 14 so i think u would be looking at 3,000 or we wont touch u. im 20 with a 1.6 sport and i pay 1400 in my name tpft is ur insurance in ur own name?. just buy a sport off ebay there good fun 100bhp nice body kit and loads of goodies


also chris ur 25 so u insured ur polo in 2004 so since then everything has had inflation put on plus loads of crashs this year because of the snow i bet u cudent insure a fiesta 1.2 for that price now a days i realistic quote would be 1050 tpft for full year.

 

[dan-seat-ibiza]

Insurance is silly theses days that's why I'm doing the conversion
