What coilovers for Cupra R?

[kieran969]

Hi guys, I'm looking for a set of coilovers for a Cupra r 225. I was looking at the spax rsx due to the damping adjustibility. I have roughly £650 to spend and wondering what everyone recommends

Thanks

AP and Weitec are often popular choices in your price range. Just bare in mind they need to be Cupra R specific as the front struts on the rest of the Mk1 Leons don't have the ARB link point on the strut.

I'd say you wouldn't even need to spend that on coilovers mate.

Around £400 would see top of range FK or AP coilovers

Has anyone every had the top of the range fks? I have the cheap fks atm and there too harsh for my roads. thats how I was trying to find damping adjustable ones

Any ideas?

 

[kieran969]

Swaying towards the spax rsx due to damping adjustibility and in my
Price range. Any one ever used them as can't see much reviews online

Cheers

Were you only interested in kits with damping adjustability or would you also consider height adjustable with set damping?

I've got spax RSX on my cupra, loads of damping adjustability. Can be pretty soft on the lower settings, to really hard on the higher settings

 

[kieran969]

How do you rate the spax rsx?

I'd be interested in any bud but would prefer adjustable if possible

 

[DamianPM]

Is it just for everyday fast road use?

Damian @ DPM Performance

 

[kieran969]

Yeah with the occasional track day and also show use, I have show wheels and like running it low and hard so no rubbing. I have fk ak just now and they have seen better days so looking for spend a bit more

 

[kieran969]

What coilovers do you keep for my car and any with damping adjustability?
Also what prices?
Cheers

That's too much, £650 is about where I'm at

Not wanting to upset anyone here but bc coilovers are available for about that price. Not used them on the cupra myself, went with kw v1 supplied by dpm but the bc were a close second for me. Driven other cars with them, on and off track and they are pretty good.

 

[kieran969]

So hard to decide! I'm looking to purchase by tomorrow night.

I'd spend £650 and prefer damping adjustibility, I'm looking at the vogtland, vmaxx xxtreme, fk konigsport, spax rsx, what would you say is the best? I'm liking the konigsport but not sure if there worth the extra money over the likes of ap and the the fk highsports.

Also prices would be helpful and I can pay paypal bud

Cheers

Also noticed ap do adjustable ones the ap x coilovers, what like are these compared to the rest I have listed?

 

[DamianPM]

AP no longer offer the AP X kit and now only list the height adjustable kit.
