be careful of lowering springs mate.
they lower the shock to below their normal working points and put a lot of strain and wear on the shock itself.. you will find the shocks will be totaled in around a year, if not less.

well the guy im buying them from had them on his cupra for a while, they look in better condition than my standard ones so i dont see that it could hurt, £40 fitted there too cheap to miss out on
thats the second picture you put out that nobody can`t see
i dont know whats wrong mate i can see them...
the thing is they are on cupra shocks wich are slightly lower than standard anyway,
the springs are 60mm on the front and 40mm on the rear, i had a friend who had his cupra for 3 years, he bought it on lowered springs and standard shocks and never bothered to change them and he never had any problems
i think it one of theese things, if u have money to spend then dont use springs but if ur poor and you have many friends who are mechanics who would fix it if it went wrong anyway then i dnt see any problem

Id say he was lucky to not have any problems then.
You got to remember yes the Cupra shocks are slightly lower than the 1.4 models but they also weigh more which will lower then even more. If you were to stick standard cupra shocks an springs on a 1.4 it would be almost exactly the same ride height as the standard 1.4 ones anyway. I know this from experience myself when i put the cupra set up on my 1.4 when i got my cupra

if anything the stiffness raises the 1.4! ask adam! put my origionals on his 1.4 and it looked rather high!!! coilies are so cheap and available these days in the long run it will save you a fortune!
