LawrieIbizaMk4's Ibiza Cupra TDi *Coilovers!*

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Skoda Ross lol! The jom kit should come in 4 boxes, each box is a corner, two front shock absorbers with springs and two rear shocks, spring and adjuster cups. You'll need shortened drop links, I used ford puma ones as they are around one inch shorter than standard.

Cheers for the tip phil, quite like the look of some black discs stealthy

your parcel should be with you tomorrow buddy.

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Cheers al

SS strut brace and rarb just arrived

Big thanks to Cupra.al

 

[cupra.al]

cool that didnt take long,should have arrived safe though with all that packageing lol.
get them both fitted.

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

I'm away up north to work so it'll be a couple of weeks until they're fitted took me about ten minutes to get through all that bubble wrap lol! Might get the misus to drop the rarb off at the powder coaters while I'm gone

 

[Joshh]

Hey Lawrie, cars looking mint mate. Any chance of a write up on the JOM's and how they perform/feel? I'm tempted by them but put off by the whole 'buy cheap, buy twice'

show some pics if you do get it powder coated,your probably have to clean the edges of the holes with a drill if you do get it powder coated as thats what i had to do to the holes where the drop links are fitted. i never fitted it on the softer settings so i expect they need cleaning with a drill too although pointless if you dont use the softer settings.

To josh, im working away from home just now so not had a real chance to put them through their paces but so far I'm actually pretty impressed! They are quite bouncy but in general over the Cupra suspension I'd say they are a better ride quality, small bumps make less noise, handling and body roll is a lot better and as far as looks are concerned they can go crazy low! I'm currently 25 threads up on the front and woun all the way down on the back and it's still very low as you can see, adjuster cups out and wound right down on the front and in sure the front bumper would be resting on the ground! If you were going to get them I'd recommend upgrading to Cupra bushes and putting a strut brace and rarb on to really stiffen everything up, my mates running the same set up with the rarb etc installed on his polo gti and he says in the dry it just grips and grips with some rear end out action in the wet lol. Hope this helps! But from what I've seen and read so far the phrase buy cheap buy twice doesn't really apply to these!

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

A few ideas here, not sure which I like best! Opinions?

 

[oneofthetwins]

The red wheels are helliya sexy

 

[Phil_JJ]

I want gold wheels on my car

 

[FR_MATT]

red

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

Personally I'm completely torn between red and gold!

 

[phillpotts92]

Gold looks bit more stylish. Whereas vibrant colours are a YES on Polo's and older cars but not on a tasteful car! Gold looks good with the black mate.

 

[TazB]

From those pictures I'd say red. Maybe try a different shade of gold?

 

[Blanco92]

Most people say gold looks rubbish because it looks your like you're trying to turn your car into a Scooby but I don't see it that way. I think the gold looks really good.

I'd pick the gold over the red as it's more stylish, the red looks a bit try hard to me. Sometimes less is more if you get me.

To Lawrie
Thanks for the honest opinion mate, I think I might just order them this week and give them a go

I've already got the bushes and rarb so sorted in that respect

I personally like the white alloys by the way!

 

[lawrieIbizaMk4]

I think the white looks too Chav tbh. Too much of a contrast. I'm almost sold on the gold!! Think the red is a bit too scene and in your face where as the black and gold looks flashy with out being ott!

 

[cupra.al]

gold only works on the renault williams it looks rank on scoobys but looks ok on yours personally i think the colour you had them works best but gold is a grower the more i look the more i like it.
