Lowering costs

[Tall-Paul]

its a better option to go for because you can set it up just as u want. like if u change the wheels or something u can easily change the height, otherwise you'll be messin about with different springs and puttin it back on the ramp.

so is it pretty pointless getting coilovers if you dont wanna change the wheels you just wanna make the car not look like a moon buggy!

 

[rashcupra]

if you dont want to change the wheels coilovers are the best option for you as spring wont lower it enough and if you wanna change the alloys then coilovers are the best option as can be adjusted acordingly.

so coilovers are best but i would say that!

I agree, coilovers don't have to be wound right down, just give a very sporty drive and look pukka lowered to terra firma!

My sump is just under 2 inches off the ground!!

 

[Aimez]

coilover are the best then! does it make the car handle differntly as well iv just about got used to the hard ride on the car now?sorry im hijacking this thread!

 

[rashcupra]

does coilovers improve handling!

is the pope a cathlic?

 

[Aimez]

i know nothing!

wheres your car pic gone in your sig!!!!

 

[rashcupra]

i felt like taking all the pics off dunno why

the pics will go up when i have a car back its been 3 weeks i dont own the car at the mo

 

[Aimez]

be really exciting when you get it back especially when we all get to see it in the flesh/metal/turbo soon!
i keep wanting to buy stuff for the car ready for the meet!!
what have you been driving for 3 weeks then or have you been sponging lifts!?

 

[rashcupra]

had nothing to drive and been getting lifts to and from work and places for ages every1 is getting really fcuk'ed offwit me

i so took advantage of having a car its only till its GONE that you relise how much you rely on it and sadly i miss it but ive heard from jbs its rappid so im just really excited about getting it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Aimez]

at least you can drink if your not driving!
id have to hire a car if mine went away cos i cant get lifts to work no one lives near me and work is too far away and at way too unsociable times!

i get f-d off with my mate in his vx220 only one seat and his girlfriend is always init such an unsoicable car, he even saw someone with the same car with a sub in the other seat so he couldnt have anyone in the car!!

 

[rashcupra]

a 1 seater im behind unpracticle (low) but a 1 seater NO
i hardley ever drink! normally get in fights or act a knob when drunk

 

[Aimez]

hahah at least you can admit it, come to think of it my mate with the vx is a bit mouthy when he drinks 'stop looking at my girlfriend' starts up!

il be unsociable when i get my sounds back in my car after a year of no bass next weekend!

 

[rashcupra]

Hi guys

I have a 56 plate FR, would the suspension be harder than these original springs if i change to coilovers?

Cheers

 

[croakey]

coilovers are harder...but not overly

I'm running VMAX cheapo ones..and amazingly they appear to be spot on so far

The rebound is certainly stiffer but over the standard crashy suspension my sport had as stock...its barely noticeable...and thats lowered all by 2 turns, on silly low profile tyres

 

[Nick_J]

ok cheers for the info mate

 

[rashcupra]

my coilovers feel much better than the standard cupra suspension not harsh at all only probs i do get is a few rubs but nothing bad
