Looking good. You won't regret the ECS rear centre plates; one of my favourite suspension mods

Cheers James, should do, the non centre look doesn't do it for me. They weigh quite a bit as well

Right busy afternoon fitting my coilovers and ECS rear centering plates. Iv still got adjust the front a little bit so it sits perfect but will do that tomorrow. Overall im well chuffed with them, definitely these AP's are a million times better than the JOMS on my cupra, but that's what you pay for!!

In the process of fitting the rears and the plates...

Fronts on

All new ball joints on both sides as well.

How it used to sit before.

and how it sits now.

Centering plates which really made me happy as I don't like the pushed forward look.

 

[Richy Cupra]

As I have done 90% of my 2013 modification plans im going to ease up a bit and start saving for non car related stuff now. Only thing next are new tyres and wheel refurb and the rest will be minor things.

Hey mate,your cars coming on really well !, I think it's looking much better sat on your new coilovers,maybe the front wants to come down a little more ??
but Great work imo !!

 

[Seal_LCR]

That's low at the back! And it will only get lower once they are settled.

APs I see how you finding them?

 

[t0m]

AP's are awesome. Had mine for over 3 years fitted, done track time and abuse and they've taken everything I've chucked at them. Glad you're pleased.

The rear centering plates are a really trick mod mate, they look to have done the business.

Are you going to drop the front a few turns to match the rear a bit more?

Thanks mate, makes such a difference to the car I think. Ill be out there tomorrow adjusting the fronts as im not liking the see saw look lol

Iv not tested it with people in the back yet but I guess it will scrape?? Just been out tonight mate and done a few miles on them and they are a tad bouncy but the ride is very OEM, well worth the money!

They are an awesome set of coilovers for the money Tom, but I am comparing them to the JOMS I had. I can't fault them yet

The plates are a lot of money for what they are and people won't notice that iv done it but for me it makes the world of difference.

Yeah ill put a few photos of it all level tomorrow and give it a clean

Hi mate your car looks very nice - I'm very new to lcr ownership but not to modding - can I ask where you got the film for the lights? Cheers mate and keep up the good work

 

[James23Parkin]

As said before Rich, the ECS plates are one of my fav mods. I also found that with the wheels now being central and low, I don't get any arch rub. Car's looking great Rich! Clearly shows that a lot of TLC has been put into the car. Looks ace

 

[t0m]

Looking forward to seeing it level and looking clean mate

Car is coming along really well mate! Might have to get these centering plates for mine at some point.

Thanks mate, welcome by the way. Can't remember where I got the film from, but just google fly eye effect headlight film or something along them lines.

Do it mate, top top mod and quite easy to do.

 

[Richy Cupra]

Adjusted my coilovers today so they are level. The front still need to go down a bit more but the collar is so close to the tyre, which means I need new correct size 225/40/18 tyres and spacers as well. Raised the back for now so its relatively level.

Ill let the pics do the talking.....

 

[R666ECE]

Looking awesome Rich ! - low and mean, what are these centering plates you talk of ?

 

[futurelogic]

Sits perfectly! Looks great

 

[D.K]

Looking good Rich, think I'm going to have to get a set of these plates, especially if they stop the rear wheels rubbing
