Facelift FR on Lowering springs...

[AwesomeAl]

Hi Guys,

Looking at getting my mum a set of lowering springs for Christmas (lol) for her 2007 Ibiza FR 130.

Has anybody got any pictures of how well these sit on just lowering springs?

If so, please post them and if you could let me know which springs you have that would be ace.

Taa Muchly!

(p.s. I've tried searching but wouldn't find squat )

Cool. Had a look at the pics and it looks alright!

I'm thinking along the lines of the Weitec springs as we've had only good experience with them so far and they are generally quite comfortable.

Anybody got Weitec 30/30's fitted ?

I have H&R lowering springs and they're -35mm. They're as comfy as stock suspension, except its lower . Had em on standard shocks for 1.5 years now and still doing fine job. There are some pics on my thread.

Thanks Joens,

I can see a definite drop on the front:

But the rear hasn't really dropped much but the front is definitely lower!

 

[Joens]

Thing is, it was a problem for H&R and they have uprated spings now. New product code for Cupra and FR. Heres a pic with the new H&R that was published last summer for Cupra and FR

think the product code is 29333-3 , mine has 29333-2

They are spax 45mm ones, coming off soon though! Need lower at the rear!

Well standard was never that good, but it is more bumpy, however certainly not as bad as some cars i have been in. Just makes quite a lot of noise really, crashing about, but hey! They look cool as feck
