    Cupra coilover adjustment

    Hi all,

    I checked the coilovers on the weekend after a week of driving & decided to lower her some more.

    the front is another 2cm lower & the rear another 1cm.
    I'm very happy with the way it looks & drives.





    cheers

          Nice, it looks really good!

          Is the ride harsh at all?

              At the first height setting it was like a go kart at slow speeds, at 40-60K you could feel every bit of the road surface & my wife refused to ride in it after a 20 min drive!

              I decided to drop it a bit more as I said above & the ride comfort is a little firmer than the standard gti ride but the handling is unbelievable, it has transformed the car.

                  Go and find an old set of Mk1 drums and get them turned into spacers

                      i love the back now with the spacers in it but the front is still too high. If i got these for my 95 gti and lowered the front more then this what would happen would it be crappier or better?

                            Not sure I've got your question right, but if you're talking about the coilovers then your HANDLING may suffer, or you may not notice depending on how hard you drive. It will almost always look better (to someone like me anyway ) though!

                              mickey is right on it there.. consider how low you can go with your day to day driving, will it suffer on entry to car parks and driveways as well.

                              you dont need to be on the ground to look good.
                              What’s behind you doesn’t matter..
