KW Variant 1 coil-overs - Cupra 1P fitted by Awesome GTI

[Donnyboy]

Looks great now with the low ride height and 19's.

You not fancy the black grill and black badge at the front? Would make it look very mean.

Excellent write up Zboyd and I'm well impressed with the ride height of your Cupra now. It makes a standard Cupra look like a 4x4.

Enjoy.....

Very nice!! I like the look, sometimes I think I should have gone for the same set up as I would like the rear of my car to look a bit lower than it is now (the height of the front is perfect though)
Great look.

Good review, and as you've paid to have them set up properly they will provide a great drive. With all the extra power you're packing they will be invaluable. Looking forward to more pics!

Really looking forward to seeing it 'in the metal' tomorrow, Mark

Great to see another driver loving their KW V1's. I've had mine for about 5 months now, but i was very lucky as i got mine just before KW increased their prices. I got KW v1's (inox) with Eibach ARBs for £1128 including fitting and 4-wheel laser alignment. As the ARBs were about £300, i got my KW's for just over £700 as fitting was about £100. They are more expensive now, but I would still say that they are worth it, provided they are fitted properly.

I'm sure you'll have many many more miles of fun with you new set-up, just i have all the time

I'm not so sure the black grille works that well on a black Cupra, I like the fact the chrome breaks it up a little.

However today finally got round to fitting my Linea R grille.

As I have a spare S badge now with my old grille. I may experiment with painting it gloss black to fit inside the Linea R grille.

Nice, not stupid low, just looks the part and looks purposefull....wheels fill the arch's nicely

Where's your front splitter then Z ?

Stance on the car looks good Mark. Not keen on the Linea R grille, but thats a personal thing. You are maybe right about the black grille on your car though, especially with the silver wheels

I understand the exhaust on your car is no longer available which is a bummer as I was pretty keen on getting one based on what I have seen and heard about it. Looking forward to hearing yours at the meet in July

Needs painting, I might get round to that next year.

Small steps....

I likey mate, agree with you RE grill, I think the chrome grill look's the best on the Inferi, breaks it up nicely.

Why not paint it anthrecite to go with the wheels, Mark?

Sounds like a good idea, I'll have to get some spray paint and see if I can find a match to my rims.

Can you tell me please at witch height is the suspension set in this pictures?
Can it go any low?
Thanks

 

[ZBOYD]

It could go a bit lower but it would handle like a greasy weasel and the 19" rims would rub inside the arches.

I've actually had it raised a bit at the rears since I did this thread, so I'd say its more like a 40-50mm drop now.

Variant 3's would give more adjustment, but they are more money than I wanted to spend.
