Lowwering qustion

[CupraMe09]

Hello all im a newbie as u can see so first i wanna say hi to you all

Ok now what i would like to know is how much to lowwer my cupra by as its sitting on standard set up but when i look at the front bumper i fear lowwering may cause some damage. So what would you guys suggest?

Welcome.

I was thinking oh no not another lowering thread but it's something not often covered.

I wouldn't worry at all. Most people lower their cars alot and with a Leon Cupra R splitter on, which takes the front down more by a few cm. If you are worried about damaging your bumper put on an LCR splitter as it's cheap and plastic so won't cost alot to replace once/if it gets minced. Not to mention looks great too

If you lower it around 30mm you shouldn't have any problems.

slam it and avoid speed humps, thats what ive done

Some people have more than speed bumps to avoid unfortunately i.e. country roads.

well i live in wales where there arnt many speed humps, but i have dropped my ibiza about 80-100mm on coilovers with 17's. missis moans abit but she'll get over it

dont forget to have your camber ect adjusted, you'll wear the tyres in no time!

i had mine slammed... followed a bus one day and didnt see a rock in the road.....

its not so low now, but remember its not just speed bumps you'll have to avoid! I picked up the rock and you can see it to the left of the car. Must of come off a lorry or tractor.

Nomore than 50mm maximum if you still want it to be a good drivable car

thak you very much for the replys, i will go for a 30mm drop as i do like the leon splitter, main concern is that my intercooler is front mounted and is on show so the fear of something smashing into that is making me nervus. I will post up some piccys ov the cupra today.

ye i may have to bring mine up a bit as the rear wheels touch the inside front of the wheel arch!! i had a vw polo 6n2 before nd that was lowered about 100mm, surprisingly didnt rub that bad lol.
