mk 4 cupra coilovers?!

[Alex 17]

Ahhhh, yeh i thought you meant 9n3 one. Totally agree, ibizas are fully loaded and about 3k cheaper!

Heres my cupra on weitecs:

Need some fancy pictures of the cupra tbh!

Yeah you do , we still havn't had that shoot lol

Have to wait for my cupra bumper and will look ace

 

[Scott-o]

Cheers Ed, much money, time and effort have gone into both of them haha

Yeh standard suspension is like a 4 inch lift kit on a 4x4 yet solid as hell! Think my cupra only lasted a week or so at standard height lol

I think my thread will give you some good ideas where to go with upgrading parts cos i only started on it a couple of months ago so its a fairly compact thread for the stuff done!

 

[Scott-o]

haha not so into pictures or keeping the car stupidly clean anymore tbh, just like driving this one! But yeh ill try get charlie sorted to do a shoot lol

Yea, not sure what Seat where thinking when they got to the suspension on the car, ah well, least it's easy enough to bang the coilovers on.

You definately didnt wait around, tis a good read, beats the build threads that are just people cleaning their car once a week and changing the colour of the magic tree "

Although saying that, being at Uni and having 2 cars, insurance, tax etc at the moment really isnt easy until I get the Polo gone..

Heres my cupra on weitecs:

Fave shots of my old fr on the same, bit lower at the front than my cupra but not at the back (newer version of the weitecs appear to be slightly lower at the rear with adjusters out):

What spacers are the black one?

 

[Alex 17]

20mm adapters

 

[great_kahn]

20mm adapters

Adapters = spacers?

 

[Alex 17]

They are wheel adapters to change say from 5x100 too 5x112 .. They are in sizes so act as a spacer also so 20mm adapter in 1

 

[great_kahn]

Ahhh ok, so there are basically a 20mm spacer.

Anyone got 20mm spacers on there cupra?

 

[Alex 17]

You could say so? But hardly in the same sence lol

Yeah scott has them on his.. Looks the same as every other ibiza with 20m spacers

The KW V1s are a very good option and with the discounts available at the moment its a great time to buy them.

how many threads have you got left on the front there scott?

ive just put my coilovers together with new top mount bushes and bearings and wound them down to 15 threads untill there fitted will decide from there if it needs to go up or down.
ill probally be fitting them this weekend so ill have some photos to post up.

 

[Scott-o]

It's about 13-14 perfect height! It can scrub a tad if you corner harsh and hit a little bump, bit nothing too bad tbh!

In the pics up top of the White on, that had 9-10 threads left to go but was an utter no no with standard wheels!

 

[cupra.al]

i fitted my coilovers today and to say im happy with them would probably be an understatement which is good as i dont want to have to do it again lol.
id definitely recommend them over standard cupra suspension thanks to those of you who talked me into coilovers.
ill post some pictures up monday.

 

[Ed_Sutch]

Fitted some AP's to my Cupra today and am getting a knocking noise that sound to me like ARB on Driveshaft, from what I've read on here though, I shouldnt be having this issues with AP's on standard drop links?

Only happens on bumps, cant make the knock on full lock in either direction though going tightly round corners..

I'm about 2cm from the bottom of the thread on the fronts.

Cheers, Ed!

 

[cupra.al]

wind the fronts up a bit then it sounds like your way to low at the front.

 

[Ed_Sutch]

16 threads on the front, nowhere near as low as some, gonna get myself some shorter drop links off a mondeo an see how things go from them.

It's drivers side knocking at the front of driveshaft, as stuck some paint on the ARB to see where it was catching.
