Anyone know which coilovers are suitable for the Cupra 290 SC? I've noticed several sets of coilovers advertised for the Cupra have the rear suspension set up with spring and shock together but this isn't the same as the standard set up? Unfortunately I'm a total rookie when it comes to coilovers having never dealt with them before but I'd love it if anyone has any info they could offer, especially if I could retain the factory DCC too!

Cheers

It's mostly a generic picture you see for coilovers so a little miss leading sometimes.
Sadly there are just a few kits around that works with dcc(KW and i think Bilstein has one each). Otherwise you'll need to use adapters to not get a fault code(but from my understanding, it usually doesn't work all the time).
H&R, Bilstein, KW and Öhlins are some of the good ones you could check out.
I went with springs(H&R) on my oem shocks just because of dcc and the drop is just enough I think.
