Best ride height?

[antnee]

Had a search but couldn't really find the answer. Im going original and getting 16" Cupra wheels. Im also going to lower it on cupra shocks with lowering springs. Now I can either get 40 or 60mm.

Whats the best to go for?


Pics would be nice too

I got my cupra wheels couple weeks ago.
The drop i got is 50mm,
Looks decent but still waiting on the springs to loosen up

Need rear spacers but !

personal choice i would say mate, my cupra has been dropped 80 mm (approx) on coilovers and thats on standard 16s.

Rear mudflaps are a nice touch too if your interested

 

[Razor]

75mm for a 1.4 on 17's or 60mm on a cupra. 60mm for a 1.4 on 16's or 50mm on a cupra

Is that 50mm on 1.4 shocks?

i've got the 40mm springs on my standard 1.6 shocks which i was told/or read on here are the same as the cupra shocks iirc, and ive got the 16" cupra alloys, they have began to settle now and look alot lower than when i first did them

 

[antnee]

Im going to get some cupra shock's so I can swap them over quicker and also put the standards back on quickly too when I come to sell

 

[Daymo]

oh right i see, good thinking, do you know if the 1.6 shocks are the same as the cupra ones then??

 

[m0rk]

don't bother swapping the shocks.

with 9yr old shocks & lowering springs the ride is going to be crap

most SEAT dampers have next to no damping within a year anyway

just save a little up & buy uprated dampers - your spine will thank you

 

[antnee]

Well at most they will be on 6months, if some uprated dampers/shocks set comes up when Im looking then I will go for them

 

[Razor]

They are just the standard shocks at the min
Will upgrade as soon as possible

[Razor]

Is that 50mm on 1.4 shocks?
