Really hard ride?

[Bolland]

Hi all,
I've had my cupra r 225 for nearly a year now, it is completely standard apart from KWstreet coilovers.
Now the past month i've noticed that the ride feels a lot more harsher and i can feel every little bump in the road? Can anyone shed any light on what it could be? plssss

I would check the condition of the springs & shocks

Worn top mounts , worn bushes , or possibly your turning gay ?

 

[Bolland]

Thanks, just had a look at the top mounts and there is a gap of about 15mm so i will be replacing these as soon as they arrive.

Would you stick with the OEM lCR topmounts, or go for the powerflex top mounts?

And @Murdered LCR, I've not had any gay thoughts....not yet anyway

Get the top mounts from psi tuning with genuine new bearing and some polo top mount caps

Use your standard Leon top cap and cut the ring off file it and push it in side the polo ring use the rubbers from the original Leon cap and bolt them up the polo top caps pull through this will stop this happening also the top mounts lower the car 10mm

They then sit flush and not in the air

Brilliant, thanks for your help bud. I'll be thinking about you in bed tonight.

Hahaha awesome xxx

I'll report back and let you know how i go on.

Another question, which strut brace, and which TIP would you recommend?

Also im wanting to lower the rear a bit more, but its as low as it goes, should i just take out the adjuster to drop it another 10mm?

 

[Murdered LCR]

Yeah I'd take the adjuster out to see how you go also for a tip its got to be the badger bill 3" tip

Strut brace loads fit from golf mk4 Audi s3 etc I have a forge carbon brace on my R32
