I dont mean like that mate. Sorry the post wasn't very clear. I've got an SX TDi at the minute and am short of cash and want to lower it. And i've seen a few people selling their original cupra springs for around 40 quid, so i was wondering how much the original cupra springs would lower a standard car.

I know the 1.9 TDI use the same springs as an LC.

 

[philjc99]

really. the LC look so quite a bit lower. might have something to do with the bumpers though.

There the same bumpers to? lol

My standard leon sat pretty high on standard springs.

 

[philjc99]

the facelift bumpers are bigger though aren't they? they sit a bit lower and deeper, and with the skirts as well prob makes it look lower

The non facelift bumpers are the same on both models.........the facelift are the same on both models.

If you compair the non facelift to a facelift its going to look different....

 

[philjc99]

no the face lift cupra bumpers are well different to the standard leon bumpers. and even the pre facelift cupra bumper is different to the standard cupra bumpers.

I think you missunderstand me...

I know there different because I have both sets of bumpers for mine.

What I'm saying is the non facelift TDI and cupra bumpers are the same.

The facelift cupra and TDI bumpers are the same.

If you compair a facelift bumper to a non facelift its obviously going to look different...

 

[philjc99]

No because the first cupra's came with the bumpers that are standard on leon's now. So yeh there different but the the standard bumpers like on my TDi 04 Leon are completely different to the 04 Leon Cupra's. And then the next facelift Leon Cupra bumpers are even more different.

Good luck lowering your car
