What coilovers are people using?

[Cupra R]

Well. It would certainly make it easier .

But more importantly, not necessary. At least, this is what I have found. Maybe others can confirm.

Anybody thats fitted their own any tips for releasing the bolts in the arch on the rear topmounts without a impact or airgun?? No chance getting the leverage with a wrench and my wheel brace wont access it either

I myself have problems with the front axle bolts. Gonna have to buy a 12 point 27mm socket to get them of. There should be a kit with a 12 point 27mm socket, 12 point 14mm male socket and a strout spreader.

I may just leave them off somewhere for the sake of 60-80 quid, iv always done my honda coilovers but these vag setups are even more of a ballache

As Cupra R has already said, the Bilsteins are really easy to adjust. Bound/rebound settings are easy to do just by laying on the floor and ride height is simple once wheels off (which again is simple too!)
I raised the rear end of my motor yesterday and it only took me approx 20mins!

now I have Bilstein B16 PSS10 and I'm little disapointed.. before I had H&R and now I can't see real difference... And I also changed front and rear ARB with them. I have to play with settings..

Volkswagen Racing Street Sport coilovers... Just had the rear shockers replaced under warranty but minus that superb

Still enjoying the car then, Stef?

What was wrong with the dampers? Weeping/leaking seals?

You got a build thread for this car yet mate?
