Cordoba suspension - SEAT Cupra.net

whitie · 28-05-2005, 13:05

Im after a quick fix to the boat like handeling and really dont want to spend
much as this is my everyday car not the track one thats draining my bank account!
Was thinking of Venom's own suspension £160+VAT, or if i could get a second hand kit
what cars am i looking at, presumably the ibiza fronts are identical, but what about the rears? Any others?
TIA

rear springs are different(i found out the expensive way).iirc venoms kit is on a parr with G-max,save your money and spend about 300 quid,save replacing a crap kit

i can highly recomend anti roll bar upgrades,sort the handling out a treat on the cordie

As long as the suspension lasted 2 years or so i wouldnt be bothered, as for ARBs,
the thing is on skinny 13" rims so squeels nutrally in the dry and dam right funny in the wet
with the back end sliding at anything over 20mph whilst turning!
Was going to go for a set of 195/45/15s and 40 or 60mm drop, and see how it goes.
I had a G MAX set up 4 years ago and found nothing to complain of.
Thanks for the info, any other suggestions welcome

FK stuff is cheap (£230) and is 2yrs old on my car - taken off for inspection & it's fine.

G-max is just cheap & shit.

whitie · 29-05-2005, 14:23

whats that FK springs and shocks, or adjustables?

**m0rk** · 29-05-2005, 16:05

springs & shocks - rears are height adjustable. (albeit crudely) but does what you need

I agree roll bars are good.

whitie · 19-06-2005, 14:12

what roll bars are available? Cupra items larger diameter, considering this is a diesel?
Or is aftermarket the only way?

**WeeJase** · 19-06-2005, 20:44

both front and rear are available,from neuspeed,via awesome,25 mm and 28mm.
the cupra front is a good compromise ,though smaller in diameter(23mm iirc)
on my 16v i used a cupra front and 25mm rear.cheap and transformed the car,for the better
