Depends what you want

 

[cupra.al]

just projector headlights like the seat issue ones that are really pricey.

 

[Jaz281288]

Think he charges 160 or 180 I think

 

[Jaz281288]

Worth it

 

[cupra.al]

it does sound pretty cheap. i look forward to seeing pics of yours.

 

[Jaz281288]

I will post a pic as soon as there done

 

[Jaz281288]

Do I get coilovers or uprated springs?

 

[cupra.al]

coilovers will give you the height you want.

 

[Jaz281288]

That's what I was thinking but I've heard of alot of horror story's about the rough ride when you fit coilovers to the mk4 cupra

 

[cupra.al]

it does get a bit firmer but it is liveable personally i wont be fitting coilovers to my cupra again had kw coilovers on my old cupra i never tried them at the highest height though so not sure what they would be like for comfort then,i dont think many if any on here try them on the highest setting.
for handling i think the cupra is really good as standard but maybe a little big high.
if your after comfort and to be a little lower then a shock and spring combo would probably be the best bet although not sure how they would compare to coilovers on the highest setting.

I'm after lowering it and Im after it were its low but u can still throw it into a corner and the arches not scrape

Started changing all the bushes to powerflex black series

Started with the biggest one tonight the dog bone

Started by cutting the old one out once you cut the rubber out the plastic insert it sits in just snaps out

You end up with this

cleaned it all up with the dermal

Didn't get a pic of it fitted but I laid the bush on top of the mount and jacked it upto the subframe so the weight of the car presses the bush into the mount.

Little tip line the big cut out section on the bush with the direction the mount goes into the subframe as the grove allows it to slide in easier

Il finish the rest of the bushes over the weekend.

Been for a test drive and WOW what a difference the gear changes are smoother and the power feels more instant

Defiantly worth the £35

Black series dog-bone bush? How's the cabin vibration out of interest?
