For those who keep asking, here is what a Cupra looks like with Eibach Sportlines....

[H8T WP]

No group buy then?

 

[H8T WP]

if there are enough peeps interested i will get the ball rolling, hopefully get price down to like 130 delivered... maybe cheaper

 

[Neel-Cupra]

Ok well there are three so far including you and me so get about 10-15 people maybe?

 

[InfernalBadger]

I might be interested. One thing though, that site says they lower the front more than the back. I though cupras were generally higher at the back?

what it does is drop the back that pulls the front up on stock spring and with full springs on its sits more level ie not so arse high

I could try and get non snow pics when I get back at the weekend provided the snow is gone

Would be good to see it without the snow. Might be interested but have a few speed bumps on my estate and i am a bit worried i might not be able to get over them. Could you actually measure the distance between say the very top rim of the front wheel and the bottom of the wheel arch. That would give me a better indication of the drop.

apparently k1 owners and aero bumper people will have it worse because of the size of the bumper etc and it will scrape

 

[Al]

I thought the Cupra bumper was closer to the ground than the Aero bumper

Have you still got that pic of your old Cupra sat next to the K1 Wayne?

 

[H8T WP]

indeed i do

To be fair, I think there would be more issues with the side skirts than the front bumper, and I havent had any clearance issues thus far with these springs.

By the way, as a comparison, this is what H&R's look like on Owens car....

with mine lowered i now have to be very careful with the front bump in multi-storey carparks. the front overhang is actually quite long. the aerokit guys will have it worse as that is slightly lower. i was going to fit sideskirts and a front splitter but i think i'm not going to now that it's lowered. don't want to risk damaging them.

im interested in eibach pro line springs for my Mk2 fr tdi but am worried about jacking height, it has side skirts on and is runnin on 18" wheels, do you think this will still easily allow the use of garage car ramps to lift the car, i have been reading that it drops about 20mm to 25mm from standard fr height?

Wont changing just the springs and not the shocks ruin the shocks more quickly. On the MK4 ibiza it was considered a no no.

 

[Eriedor]

I'm interested in getting involved in a group buy. I've just bought an FR TFSI, will this improve the ride? make it slightly less firm?

Surely at that point you just replace the shocks anyway then?

yeah but as the shocks slowly go, the ride and handling will deteriorate with it!?
