Lowering springs

[Copey]

Anyone got Eibachs on there Cupra/Boc, interested in what they look/ride like.

What springs are they?

H&R springs their 25/40 mm drops , got them fitted from fr&r tuning

 

[mwillis551]

looks lower than 25 at the front

 

[bws]

well thats the kit that was ordered , maybe because its an fr which is lower then sports to begin with or something ?

 

[mwillis551]

Looks good anyway

 

[JordanMk3]

Fitted my Apex springs last night. Went down a bit more than the quoted 35mm though, more like 50 I'd say and the drop is nice n even front and back. Ride-wise, it's not much different to what it was before, just a lot less body roll. Will get some pics up in my RR thread when I get a chance

35mm KW

Perfect! ^^

I've got H&R 25/40 on mine and the ride is becoming unbearable. I didn't own the car when it was stock so don't know how the ride was initially. I've always had cars with a firm ride as I prefer the trade of with better handling for a compromise in comfort.
My last car was an E36 which sat on eibach coilovers and the BOC with the H&R's is so much harsher!

Perfect! ^^

Would still like it lower though

Thats what everyone on here was saying, so i stayed away from them :/
Mine are the slightest bit more bouncy, I think?? But still very comfortable

I think it looks perfect! Must get my sideskirts sorted, they've been sitting in my garage since November!!!

Are the painted?

I really need to drop my car a little, they sit way to high as standard. Would coilovers give a softer ride then just springs, I don't need the rest of the advantages coilovers bring as I won't be on a track and don't want it slammed, but would be willing to pay the extra £400 if the ride is superior, had wietech coilovers on my lcr and they were impressive, just very expensive to purchase and have fitted/set-up properly.

Springs will generally give you a better ride quality but it depends on a lot of things for example what brand, what dampers are used and also how low you go.

Thanks Damian, what setup would you suggest for roughly a 30mm drop? The brand would only be decided on ride comfort tbh, I looked through all he threads on springs and still undecided? If replacing the shocks as well improves the ride then I would.

 

[DamianPM]

You'll get a better ride quality with springs and shocks but at the moment there's not many options available for the new Ibiza.

For just springs I'd go for the Eibach Pro kit which retains a lot of comfort and works well with standard dampers.
