Help me lower my LCR 225................

[rst_cupra_r]

thats a good idea scotty b get rudd's comparison then write ur comparison with th other coilovers and ill write a comparison if i just go for shcoks and springs,

are those konis fsd there dual piston ones were they dont actual lower the car??
as i would like it to be around 25-30mm lower

 

[Scotty_b]

the FSD is a dual shock and you can pick what spring you want to go with it, i.e 20mm drop 40mm etc

Sorry

If your not a fan of coilovers have a look at the koni FSD's there basicly a compromise between the coilovers and standard shock set up. i think it works out cheaper than coilovers as well.

Yeah Andy has your car and i would like to do some back to back testing on what the main differences are with the kits as thats what most people are after. I was thinking of Andy driving mine on the same stretch of road and me driving Andy’s and seeing what we both think to the differences etc that way we can have some kind of comparison, mind you if the blistering are better i may not want to know! I have to run this by andy first tho as he may not want me driving his car, mind you I don’t see why a passengers view would be any different

dont see why not, was planning on letting you try at next meet anyhows but seems you have spent your money!

I think i had ordered the kit before i new you had the car mate, been waiting that long to get it fitted! Be good to see them side by side and maybe get a few peoples opinions? I.e. take one passenger each so we get a good idea of the differences

 

[Ruddmeister]

KW's are a make mate, you get vaients 1,2 and 3 in them 1 being the basic.

Rudd did you do any write up for it?

A bit in the conclusions section here

Sure Andy has got to know the set-up know.....maybe changed it

 

[andycupra]

Have you driven a std car for comparison???? I later test drove an '05 version and was quite shocked at the difference......

Was also Impressed with Yermothers car when I drove that, it runs std suspension, arb's and Quaife ATB diff........have to get your head around driving with the diff tho......as the car understeers keep the power on.....very odd but it works.

oh rite scotty b them konis fsd sound cool then to me

drove one some time ago, but not really managed a straight comparison.


the car drives very well, in normal conditions it handles well but when you push it a bit thats when it really delivers.

i've got h+r coilovers and found they transformed the car. Makes the car really stable when driving quick.

Some one has just springs! Maybe a word with them?
