Just lowerd the cupra on polo springs

[Importcupra]

i duno if this has been done before but i have just finished fitting vw polo springs to my mk3 cupra!

 

[RobM]

That looks very good!

Are the spring rates the same between the two cars then?

 

[Smoki333]

i like that drop! What is that a 60mm drop?? Standard springs?

 

[Steve GTI]

sounds dodgy fitting springs that aren't meant for the car. Are you using standard shocks? although the springs fit the may dramatically mess up your handling?

 

[Havok316]

if you dont change the shocks theyll be fooked within a few months. Looks ace though!!

 

[Dan Cupra R]

That does look really good. However, the killer question is what does it drive like if you compare it to before you fitted? Does drive any worse/better?

 

[sixsr]

That does look good, I had wondered if any other VAG springs were compatible in the past. How much lower are those springs?

 

[Importcupra]

sorrys taken so long to reply, all i can say is that they fited on, they dont rattle and now it handels like a go kart, it is a harsh ride but it is so much beter at handling!!! its 55mm on the back and 45mm on the front. ill try n get some more pics for you all.

 

[sixsr]

Are they springs off a mk3 Polo?

 

[p34ch3y]

that looks well sweet..............im gunna lower mine with springs

think im gunna go 50 at the back n 40 at the front

 

[Matt752]

I like it mate, looks well smart

 

[truCido]

like people have said...personally I wouldnt just change the springs but everyman for himself an all

No

fitment is similar enough, but they're not "right"

 

[JIMYU]

it is a nice drop, but as said it's best to change shocks too or the ride is really harsh!

whats the black tape on your bumper for??

 

[Importcupra]

they are of a mk3 polo yh, i will change the shocks i just thought i would give it ago n c what it looks like n it looks ok for the mean time till i can get coil overs! i dont have blake tape on my bumper its where the person b4 had a tow bar on it ( dont ask me why )

 

[JIMYU]

arh i thought it was too narrow to be a towbar!

...get some red tape on there! lol

so once you have polo shocks on, will the hide height be the same ?

i suppose you could pick up a set of these at much better price than coilies.

i want to lower my car but looking at coilovers, they are expensive.

you probably dont actually need coilovers...get a suspension kit

Buy a fixed drop kit, with matched damper that's designed for your car

NOT polo springs.... totally crap idea IMO.

Sounds a bit dodgy to me mate but loving your wheels
