Suspension mods

[asthpsw]

I have a Toledo 2001 TDI (110bhp) but find for the job that I do (requiring a faster response) that the suspension is a bit soft for my liking & brakes just a bit hot after the journey.

Can anyone give me advice on suppliers of suspension parts that will give me the ride/road holding of a Cupra………I’m after a cheap way as not too distant future I will be changing to a Leon Cupra or 150bhp TDI anyway.

Someone said about “coil overs” …………..what are they ?

Any advice on the brakes / (Disks & pads on back & front are relatively new….so is there a pad that will increase performance of the brakes alone ?)

I wouldn't bother, save your pennies for a cupra as you wont get any back on the mods when you come to sell the toledo

Anyone got any website addresses for good suppliers of suspension parts & wheels ?

Is it cheaper to buy Cupra parts from SEAT & fit these ?....will they fit ?
