Cupra Suspension

[nate03]

I have recently acquired a full cupra suspension (1.8t) set up for my DAB. I noticed a few of the 1.4 and 1.6 mk3 ibiza owners have upgraded their suspension to the equivalent cupra version and have noticed a drastic improvement in handling. I am hoping for much the same, but im slightly concerned due to the different kerb weights of the cars?

Whats the thoughts, is it a good upgrade?

Cheers

The kerb weights aren't that different but people often forget to upgrade to the Cupra bushes and ARB so there's still a fair amount of slack in the suspension.

How much did you pay for your cupra setup mate?

 

[nate03]

So if I upgrade the arb and bushes it should essentially handle like a cupra?

Any ideas how much these parts would cost and would it be better to just upgrade to powerflex bushes?

Regarding the cost Damoegan you've got a pm!

Cheers

ARB is £60 and the bushes about £7 each, you will then need 17'' wheels and tyres to make it handle like a cupra - easier to buy coilovers lol
