Hi guys i know this is my first post and i am afraid its something technical. I have a 2000 leon 1.6 s and have been offered some cupra R suspension form a 2003 vehicle. i recently had a spring snap but fancy lowering but not too much becuase i have 2 kids which i dont want battered about by...

Hi guys, any idea if LCR suspension would cope on a 110tdi Toledo or just flop down due to the added weight??

ok so i got some GMAX 30mm drop spring/shock set off gtikezz, and i finally got round to putting them on, everytime i got around a corner it feels jerky, and you can hear a wheel skidding? what can this be? i didn't replace top mounts, could they cause this? as the suspension strut looks solid...

anybody any thoughts on if it would work or if it would just flop down with the added weight on a 110tdi Toledo??

A while back i noticed a tapping/rattling when going over rougher tarmac, not pot holes or large drops. I assumed it was the top mounts and thought the noise would stop when i fitted my weitec coils and new top mounts.. But The noise is still there. Could it be a bush or bearing? Its a...

Right well it's payday in a few days so was thinking of doing a suspension upgrade on my Leon basically I've lowered the car 35mm but it sits slightly higher at the front than the back so I was wondering should I get a set of coilobers and balance the car out or put gas filled shocks on it...

I know I have read this already somewhere but do you think I can find it?!?!? I have the knocking noise on fast acceleration and deceleration, but also on full lock at slow speed. I have had the lower arm bushes replaced which sort of made it better for a day or so, but now its...

I'm looking to get some quotes for softening/upgrading the suspension on my FR TFSI. I think Koni FSDs and Eiback Pro Kit springs are what I'm after. I have emailed C&R in Lenton requesting a quote. Has anyone used them and is it true that they're quite expensive? If so, are they still...

Hey folks, pretty much as per title really. If you replace std suspension components with coilovers, can the bumpstops be transferred to the coilovers? Reason I ask is that I think my 2nd-hand KW's have a pair of them missing. Not sure if it's front or rears yet though. If not...

Has anyone got any recommendations for matched spring/damper suspension kit for a Cupra tdi. Iv spend quite a lot of my time and all of works time on the search and Google etc and every kit seems to have people that like and dislike. The kits iv been looking at are: Super Sport Sprint kit...

Alrighty! Last week I had all four front suspension bushes on my LCR replaced with the Powerflex PVC bushes after a recent service advised that the originals were close to ruin. I also had the front engine dogbone mount replaced with the Powerflex part. When the original dogbone mount was...

Hi all, My Question is, is all mk4 ibiza suspension Noisy/slight knocking when going over small bumps? Because mine is and it is constantly making a small Knocking when going over small bumps! Does any one elses do this? Cheers

Just got a call to say my car has failed its MOT for a number of things including a knackered Front Lower suspension arm. The quote to do the work being far more than I can afford right now just how hard of a job is it to replace one? I'm looking at the Haynes (for the Golf) right now and...

Hey folks, When changing over the suspension, is it sensible to change over OEM parts such as top mounts etc? I want to get all bits ordered in so I've got them ready. If parts should be replaced, please give me a list of parts that you think I'll need. I may think about changing for...

Hi there, when i first bought my car i bought a few bits and bobs for it, including lowering springs. I knew eventually id be getting coilovers, at this moment in time ive almost got enough for some. Not too keen on the lowering springs, the front feels abit wallowy and under heavy cornering...
