Lowering

[Mcupra]

Hi there just wondered if anyone thinks lowering my mk4 cupra 25mil with apex is any good?

Don't wanna go stupid low, but want to see it sat just right if you get me?

Do u lot think 25 mil is decent or waste of time?

25 mil is not enough you need 50 to 65 min on the rear

I dont want it to sit really low like, Just lower than it does.

The cupra sits another 10 mil lower from standard i heard? so that would make it 35 mil lower with the 25mil springs i was gonna buy yeah?

Any pics or suggestions before i buy some springs??

Cheers lads/lasses

luke's right, you are not going to notice hardly any difference with 25mm. iv got AP coilovers on my cupra which has dropped the rear about 70-80mm

if your not after a really big dropped then, a then try asking people from AWESOME GTI and DPM PERFORMANCE. there forum sponsers on here and they can sort you out

You'll still notice that it's been lowered but it will be subtle. As mentioned a better choice would be something like the AP coilovers where you could adjust the height to suit.

The 25mm quoted is from standard springs on a normal Ibiza. If you have a Cupra, the springs will only lower it another 15mm!

 

[DamianPM]

No the Apex are specifically for the Cupra so you'll see the full 25mm.

thanks

thanks

Think i'm gonna invest in the coilers pal, just had windows slightly tinted today.

AP's are a good set to have. mine have been great since i put them one, and iv never heard a bad word about them. when i fitted mine, i didn't fit the rear adjuster cups because i wanted mine as low as possible and then just lower the front so its level, now it sits just how i want it.

iv decided against tinting the window's this time, i had them done on my other MK4 ibiza and they looked good. you'll have to get a readers ride thread set up

Go for the coilover mate, bit more money but at least you get the height you want

As mentioned the AP's are a really good option:

Ok i've been told by a few garages not to bother putting the coilovers on because it will bug the hell out of me - hit a speed bump and u think the dashboard in gonna explode, ect.


I've been advised just to stick 25mil spring and shockers onto it and it'll be sound.
Cant go any lower as this is the only one for cupras.

What coilers are they mate? i know cheap ones can be crap, but might just be quality?
Sorry for banging on, but just wanna make right choice before i splash out.

ap ones mate about a middle of the road coilover in terms of price dont think any one has a bad word to say about them on here

Generally coilovers are too stiff if you don't lower it enough, this is because the springs push against the strut top which pushes the piston upwards giving it less travel
Think I was wound down maybe 40 - 45 before they got softer.

What the garages say is rubbish, Once they settle In they become as comfy if not comfier than the standard setup.

This is also the case on the Track/road fiesta we have
