Rory1984's Mk2 Ibiza Cupra

[Rory1984]

Had my Cupra almost exactly a year now, so thought it was time i got some pictures up!!

Ordered some Raceland coilovers last month as one strut needed replacing for the MOT (any excuse!)
Here they are as they arrived:

Out of the box....

and on the car!

Another pic, bit of a better view of the whole thing.....

Done a few other things to her, pipercross panel filter with a cold air feed, got a sebring twin pipe back box, this was on when i bought it though, debating a CAT back system in the future.

Wheels are 17" Team Dynamics motorsports as far as i am aware, also on the car when i bought it.

Future plans seem to change every week defo want a set of 16's as well to swap, and wantto shave some weight too.....we shall see

that looks nice that man...shame you cant drop it all that much with 17's on even though it looks quite low there lol

how much did you drop it by?

 

[Rory1984]

I didn't measure exactly the drop to be honest, just played around until i got a height i like.

Will be adjusting it a bit once they have settled a bit, the front could defo go 10mm lower i think but might raise the rear a bit to get a bit of rake going on, rear is a bit lower than it looks too tyres in the arches but is a bit soft as its low, had 4 people init with no scraping though!

Want to space the rear too, but i know that a bit of an issue with 17's got speed bumps either endof my road just to complicate things too!!

looks nice that, lose the 17's though and get some nice 16's as you said

 

[Rory1984]

Yeah i like the way 17's look some days though, comp mo's would be sweet or some Ronal's are what i think ill look for, slightly cheaper for now!

 

[cus]

nice car.. those wheels look a lot bigger then 17inch!!!

 

[Bentley1989]

10mm at the front, would of thought it might rub tunring the wheel..but if you can get away with it, do it haha

quite surprised you got 4 people in too, although they will be quite firm im guessing? where they expensive btw? think if i ever get some they'll be off the polo club lol

 

[Rory1984]

Yeah i guess i will have to see about rubbing, was suprised myself when it didn't rub

Is defo firmer than before but the ride gets softer the lower you go as i understand, makes such a difference round corners though, hardly any body roll, almost feels like a go-kart (well you know what i mean)

Coilvoers were £200 from ebay, just phoned up the guy in belgium as i wanted to pay by creditcard, ordered them on Friday and they arrived the following Wednesday.

 

[Bentley1989]

that will be my next mod, its crazy how much mine rolls! doesnt seem to grip on corners sometimes too lol

£200 thats quite sweet lol sounds like a good bargin you got yourself there
