Whats a Sport CHASSIS?

[Cal91]

Just bought a Formula Sport and apparently it has a Sport CHASSIS.

So what's that then? I noticed the DAB models have this spec too.

Does this mean it just has rear disks? Or does it have FR suspension or something?

I think it means sport suspension, it's not as hard as FR suspension

 

[Cal91]

Oh crap, I wanted it to have FR suspension
Then I could have slapped a RARB on!

Seems daft they made another suspension setup for a limited edition car though!

doesn't matter... it's all various iterations of the same over sprung under damped crud that has plagued SEAT's "sporty" cars for the last 14yrs

Yeah, the stuff that somehow is firm enough to alter your spine and allows you to feel every bump in the road, crashes about while being quite bouncey on country roads. Turn a corner too quick and the bigger decides to roll around and become all soft and unsporty with plenty of understeer!

Unreal stuff! Must be better than the original suspension I have on my 1.4 Sport now though right?

I just want something that handles properly!

I'm liking the suspension compared to volkswagen
although I don't use my car on a track...

Not being something I've ever thought about very hard, I thought Sports Chassis related to the way the monocoque shell was designed to flex...

I put sports chasis in google and came up with this. I think I want one

No you don't it's horrible so much better now on coilovers and rear ARB. Still firm but not bouncy now the bounciness irritated me so much I nearly sold the car.

Might buy a strut brace and RARB and then see about some Alloys and Coilovers :\

 

[Aimez]

that is exactly what I have done, alloys better tyres, 20mm rear spacers, whiteline rear ARB Seat front upper strut brace. I now also have powerflex and cupra wishbone bushes and Weitec coilovers. all cost alot and took me a while to get put on all gradual!

but it makes one hell of a difference, i hated the roll of my beeza! as soon as it was sittin on ap coilies and a strut brace, it stopped feeling feel like a boat
