[ash_ibiza]

just wondering if the Cupra mk3 lowering springs would fit my ibiza mk3 1.4? help needed lol

Yep there the same

 

[Gordz]

They would, but don't just get springs, get the uprated shocks too or you'll regret it in the long run!!!

 

[ash_ibiza]

Ok Thanks guys

Where can you get these uprated shocks from ?
I assume there specific to the car as are springs

 

[Myki da Pyki]

He means just get cupra shocks

The problem with Cupra shocks and spring in a 1.4 is that the front will always sit higher than the rear, because the 1.4 engine doesn't have as much weight as the 1.8T so the springs don't get compressed as much.

It's not an awful big difference, but it is noticable.

They're well worth it though, the ablility to corner without swaying like a boat is very good.

 

[sortu]

markmeus have you still got the cupra springs on yours, or did you change them?

 

[markmeus]

They're still on it.

 

[sortu]

might have to invest in some when they come up for sale, what kinda mileage did yours have on? what would you recommend mileage wise? if you understood any of that lol

 

[markmeus]

Mine had 45000 miles on them, and I paid £50 which I though was great. I suppose anything under 60,000 miles is what you'd be wanting.

 

[sortu]

damn, i had someone offer me all 4 sides plus shocks for 40pound posted with 51,000 miles on em. but i thort the mileage was to high
