Pictures of your cupra R's sitting low on coilovers

[Deleted member 22032]

Apologies for pinching the thread, but I'm really keen on buying some coilovers after seeing these pictures. I've tried searching but cant really find what I'm after. Is it just case of buying a set of coilovers and getting them fitted? Will I need any other parts? ARB's? I've only had one previous car lowered, but with springs and the rear was torsion bars! I own a Cupra R.

What size spacers are you using?

15mm on the rear thats it, makes such a difference to the stance of the car its unreal

depending on how low you go you will need adjustable link rods, other than that its just a case of replacing the standard shockers & springs for coilovers, i recommend this kit i have it on my car and most people on here would recommend them, spot on quality for money.

Spot on for the reply, not wanting to go too low just fill the arches out a bit more. I've read on here that they are a very popular choice and I expect I will go with. Someone in work tonight mentioned getting new bushes and top mounts?

 

[Mike R]

Yeh its best to replace your top mounts and bearings while your doing it.. You wont need adjustable drop links.. you have an LCR and it doesnt need aftermarket ones, i run it belly scrapingly low and didnt need them.

Cool, How much am I looking at for top mounts and bearings?

 

[Mike R]

About 25quid each for mounts and about 3 quid each for bearings at a guess..

Has any one got the weitec gt coilovers on 19s ???

Also how low have you gone in them as the 50mm seems not that low for coilovers

Mine on weitec gt's with 19" oz ultras. Don't know how low bud as just trial and error on the number of turns unitl happy. They're currently being painted / repaired so can't do you any measurements.
