exactly mate !! got to think about the bigger picture !! looking to go back to my roots and go peugeot again !! a cherry red 306 RALLYE sounds good !! the cupra is the only car out of 7 that wasnt a pug !! just got to wait for it to sell first !!

 

[tommy_a]

maybe some good news !!

looks like i might get to keep my cupra after all !! been talking alot with the missus and if we make a few cut backs and rearrange some funds i should get to keep the car!!! but unfortunately i wont know for certain until next week though !! but fingers crossed !!

 

[dav]

Good news!

 

[tommy_a]

Looks magic

 

[tommy_a]

cheers guys !! ive not noticed any difference in ride quality either !!

 

[knight]

im really thinking about getting these springs on mine now, whats the ride like? can you tell/feel a difference?

 

[Al]

Yes, you can. The car rides lower and a little firmer with sportlines. Main plus point is that it looks better though

Thanks for that Al. I have never had any of my cars lowered in the past so i wasnt to sure what to expect. Looks like the credit card is making an appearance again

 

[Al]

You know you want to . Mine has settled a bit more since it was done yesterday and it really does look loads better now . Mud flaps also give the appearance of the car being lower than it is too - you should consider them also

 

[knight]

well thats the springs ordered

 

[Al]

Good man - the car will be loads better with them, trust me

Lovely car Tom. They look awesome in white! Can see me getting one when i get rid of my LCR.

 

[tommy_a]

cheers mate !! i was trying to sell it, but as i had no interest im going to keep it for a while !!

got a few bits lined up for it now !! might as well continue the modding if im keeping it !!

Congratulations you have a great car,"spectacolo"...
Tell me please, in terms of confort, did you notice a big diference with the eibach sportline?

 

[tommy_a]

To be honest mate, ive not noticed any difference at all after i fitted the Sportlines! turn in might be a bit sharper but the ride isn't any harsher than before! I love them! Improve the look of the car so much!

 

[paulo matta]

Thanks a lot, thats what i wanted to listen next week i will but in my car.
As you said the car looks great...
