[Nev_LCR]

has anyone got a set on there LCR, im after a bit of a review of them. and also pics if poss.

cheers

 

[Willie]

Would be interested too.

Damian. Does this mean me and willie get a bigger discount for being chief testers and giving a write up.

 

[lc_allan]

Quite a few people have them on Mkivs.net, on MK4's etc.. and rate them.
I wish I'd gone for the GT ones over over the AP's.

 

[Willie]

AP's not great then?
Has any of the MK1v guys got them on cars set up for the track?
Ratings from guys who buy these for just adjusting the ride height don't really interest me.
Need someone who can handle their cars to properly review these, as above, like me and Nev

Rebound on the AP's is super stiff and still shows no signs of softening. I'm not a high mileage driver so may need more time. Not sure how many of the guys on MK guys have a track setup but there's bound to be one or two. I don't really go on that forum but was also looking for reviews of the Weitecs and MK and Briskoda came up with the most threads. Not seen too many people post about them here.

 

[Willie]

Na theres is a few but very few who will really test the set up.
I'll do a write up when I get coilovers but won't be for a while, loving the stiffer front ARB though

I have Weitec GTs on mine. I gave them a thorough testing across the North Yorkshire Dales national park the other day. This will of course be very different from a super smooth racetrack but for the money, I don't see how you can go wrong.

Damping from these is superb and body roll even on aggressive cornering is reduced to pretty much zero. I have a standard ARB setup with polybushes and handling/roadholding is at a completely higher level than the standard Cupra or Cupra R cars. Breakaway is very neutral and compliant, you need to be very stupid to get the car to let go.

Its very important to get these set up by somebody who knows what they're doing. Don't expect to bolt them on and instantly transform your Leon into a racecar.

You're very welcome mate

ive got the HICON TX which use to be on my toledo but will be going on my LEON TDI FR+.
its fantastic but the only downside is that at 158mph its a bit scary coz it seemed to pick up every bump.
Its a good purchase though.

thats spot on mate, too many people just pop them on and away you go,

The Weitec's are great and as said a lot of members on UKMKIVs are running them.

Give me a shout if you're wanting a set and we'll see what we can do!

I have had my Weitec coil overs for 3 years now and they were worth every penny.

Good quality
