Had mine doen a few weeks ago as it was wondering to the right - it was 3mm out they said they set it to parallel and it drives perfect

cheers mate
ive just bough this one ,load of mods. similar to yours
ive got the seat sport fmic still need to fit it,
is it much of a job ,i was thinking of front bumper off ,brackets for mounting fmic and extend hoses ,

Cupra suspension isn't any lower than the standard suspension - it's just harder

 

[rashcupra]

why do you need the data surely the place where it is being setup will have a computer with all the data logged into the database! cupra suspension is at a stiffer setting and it is slightly lower by about 1-2" afaik

Defo front bumper off and a few bits to trim, but if you go on Forge's site you'll find a good guide for doing this. I had the first Seat Sport pipework kit made for this conversion, so it may be easier just to buy this plug and play kit. I also got the lhd/rhd mounting brackets for the FMIC to from the stealers

gr8 website that from Forge they make it look simple ,the tracking issue of mine is simple ,i have my own tracking gauges but no data

the rear suspension on my tdi sport seems higher than the front and is also a fair bit softer ,
is this normal ,because when cornering sharp you can feel the rear wallowing a little
im thinking maybe drop it by 20mm and a little stiffer

 

[rashcupra]

the rear suspension is made to be a little higher than the front on the beezer as standard across the whole range. a 20mm drop wont make it any lower BTW but a stiffer ride will help the twitchy rear end

 

[maxcars1]

With my Eibach Prodamper kit i still had the wallowing and twitchy rear end, but now ive got the Jabba ARB the car is truly transformed.

pricey tho isnt it? i want 1 for my car but cant afford it mine handles good enough with the coilies ect

Not when you buy one thats been on a car for a few 100 miles But it defo feels soooooo much more planted. Ask Gaz hes driven it

If it has cupra front suspension and std sport rear suspension it will be softer at the back as the cupra has a stiffer set up, so that is why it wont feel as stable at the rear! Spacers and a rear anti-roll bar would improve things massively!!

 

[andy.0101]

does the cupra have a rear anti roll bar standard ,and what are "spacers" used for

actually i found that the guide is useless because its fitting a forge intercooler and the pipes are all different. Please correct me if im wrong. it tells you how to take the bumper off though.

 

[andy.0101]

yea quite correct but it does show where to extend the origional hoses from to get them point ing the other direction
im gonna change the cam belt on mine then get it mot ed then tackle the FMIC

 

[rashcupra]

andy spacers widen the stance of the whhels and improves handling DRAMATICLY and also when lowered makes it look alot better too!

the cupra doesnt have a rear arb but a custom made 1 from companies have made them using clamps ect try a search
