leon cupra tdi 53 plate advice please

[Andrewcupra TDI]

Hi damien

I know we briefly spoke about the weitec kits. But want to know are these the best reckomendations for my car as I don't want too stiff crashy ride. Have a little un to chaufer around

I also would like the car to site level. Is that possible without coilies.

I also don't want it scrapping floor

Also that drop of about 20mm would I need anything else ,ie drop links etc


Cheers.
Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Yeah the 30mm Weitec kit is a great choice and not crashy or harsh and should sit level but it is difficult to get the car perfect without coilovers.

You won't need anything else but depending on the cars mileage it might be a good idea to change the top mounts as well.

Damian @ DPM Performance

[Andrewcupra TDI]

do you supply them ?? cars done 70k now ,

are these top mounts oem , or adjustable as seen on other members cars

cheers

[Damian @ DPM]

We just use the OEM ones from the dealership but they're also available from GSF and ECP.

Damian @ DPM Performance

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ok i will get them from tps ,

the drop links then wouldnt be an issue then with that kit , whats it drop by -20mm real time rather than 30mm , i was planning on a LCR splitter is this now likely to scrap the floor or still safe

how much was it again , don tthink the other member is ready yet for his kit , so looks like just me , do we get scn discount at all

also whats delivery time scales

cheers

[Damian @ DPM]

Yeah you'll see around a 20mm drop on a Cupra.

About 5 days at the moment and we already have free delivery on the kits.

Damian @ DPM Performance

[Andrewcupra TDI]

ok so how much is the kit i need to check funds also a link to it so i can order it ,

can i also specify a different address for delivery etc

cheers

[Damian @ DPM]

Yeah a different address is fine.

[Andrewcupra TDI]

damien , just dragged my old thread up , ive now developed a squeek like noise form the passenger front shock , i need to take it back to my uncles garage tonight to investigate , but is there anything to look out for ,

shoult the top mounting plates have play in them are they a flexible like joint or should be no movement

cheers

andrew

[Damian @ DPM]

Morning,

Check for movement in the bushes around the front suspension as the noise could be coming from a lot of things. The top mounts should have very little play in them.

Hi Damian - with Andrews consent I have jumped on the end of his thread I am looking to purhase the same setup as Andrew for My 2004 Leon Cupra TDI but firstly I have one deciding question for you.

Would you know if the complete suspensiin setup on my Leon would transfer to a 2001 "Y" plate Golf 1.9TDI?

reason being my other halfs Golf rides like a Sail ship in comparisson to mine so rather than upgrade her golf the plan in my head is to upgrade the Leon and then fit my springs and dampers to her golf.

Many thanks Mark

[Andrewcupra TDI]

he is trying to justify to the lord about suspension for his , and conveniently hers has gone:lol:

has she asked why her car was in bits a few weeks back ;););)

as for my kit i had
Part Number: 23281025
http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/weit...99-p-1505.html

a quick look the golfs are a little dearer on the web
Part Number: 23280047

but sure Damien can confirm this , fingers crossed youl have the uprated shox and not her :lol:

Morning Mark,

Yes it'll fit but part numbers will be different. Also what Leon do you have?

Damian @ DPM Performance

[Andrewcupra TDI]

same as mine damien , but an 04 plate cupra tdi

i would imagine same parts as mine , as mines a 53plate one

[MarkWales]

So I should be able to fit my used Seat springs and dampers to the golf once I have fitted the new suspension to the Leon

[Damian @ DPM]

Yeah they'd fit Mark.

Damian @ DPM Performance

[MarkWales]

cheers for the quick response no to decide what to fit to the leon

[Andrewcupra TDI]

hi damien

just found my old thread

ive gone through a few drop links since fitting this kit ,, as oem are plastic they snap

was thinking about the metal shorter ones ?

would they fit on standard arb

cheers

andrew

[Damian @ DPM]

Afternoon,

Do you have the length of your standard ones?

Damian @ DPM Performance

[Andrewcupra TDI]
