[Jonzy]

filter, brakes & suspension

 

[CupraTgirl]

I wpuld say suspension but its up to you!

 

[CupraTgirl]

Jonzy - Suspension alone will be about £500 minimum once you have got it fitted, added VAT and had the 4 Wheel Alignment done?

Reckon some green neons for that authentic fast & furious look!

Seriously tho, Brakes would be a good shout

Not necessarily true.

 

[CupraTgirl]

Not necessarily true.

Enlighten me then as i have been looking for some decent suspension, fitted and including VAT for less than £500 and to no avail yet

 

[Jonzy]

Im in the same boat as you at the mo, and have found plenty for sub £500.

If you choose to have it fitted then you are gunno pay more. As I said...

What kit are you looking for? How else would i get it fitted as i cant do it myself?

 

[Jonzy]

Personally looking for a fixed drop, got the t-shirt as far as coilovers go and already know theyre a waste of cash on anything but track/show cars.

Get a mate to fit em for you, unless you learn yourself.

Yeah i was going to get coilovers but there is not point as i dont think i will adjust them! I was looking at the H & R Cup Kit, i got this for my first cupra but never got it fitted and then i had to sell the car! I didnt think i would get another cupra at the time so i sold the kit but now im really annoyed as it was cheaper back then

I dont really know anyone that could fit it to be honest

 

[Jonzy]

Cup kit is top of my list.

In the 4 years I had coilovers on my previous car I think I adjusted them about 10 times in the first week and that was it. Spent more time maintaining them than anything else.

Anyone who knows which end of a spanner to hold can fit suspension.

Yeah but the 4 Wheel Alignment is expensive too?

 

[Jonzy]

20 quid if you take it too a pikey, 50 quid if you take it somewhere 1/2 decent

Oh i thought it was about £100

 

[Jonzy]

I know PhilW paid £50 for a full alignment, camber, caster etc

 

[andythom]

can you not get a hold of the H&R cup kit for around 360ish unfitted?

Easy as pie to fit......surely a friend could lend a hand

I think i can get it a bit cheaper than that but its finding someone to fit it thats the problem?
