Slammed Gab Coilovers

[motty]

Got around to fitting them today, decided to slam it, but the rear will need lifting tomorrow due to the backbox hitting the floor everywhere.

That is crazy low.

How does it ride?

[ormi]

the front is sitting much higher than the rear so you would have to have lowered the front or raised the rear..

heres as low as i would ever run one....lowered 90mm front 100mm rear.....

[steveboiboi]

nooo dont have the back lower than the front thats just 'saxo' like.....

The ride feels the same as it did before i lowerd it, but i have got the dampers on softest setting.

[motty]

Ive lifted the rear up about 10mm so its sitting level now. Couldnt drive it any longer as it was due to the backbox hitting the floor all the time.

Lol that is low! Looks like your suspension collapsed with two fat opera singers in the back!

What size wheels you got there mate? Maybe its just the pic but they dont seem to to fill the arches (width ways)

i still think it'll look odd with the front arch gap bigger than the gap... i run heavy reverse rake on my car, i'd rather it looked like a snowplough than it was trying to take off.

btw... your backbox will hit the floor less if you stiffen your dampers. ;) i have to run my fronts on hardest setting to achieve this:

lovely wheels though mate, it will look spot on when you get the stance right.

Ive dropped the front and lifted the back abit now, its siting level now, also turned the damper settings up a notch. Im happy with the wheels, they were a bit of a bargin for £159 off eBay with 4 brand new tyres. They had no reserve :). The coilovers were abit of a bargin too for £200

No offence to what was presumably your phone, but now that you've sorted it can we see some decent daylight pics please :-) Like the wheels btw, maybe some spacers on the rear though and it'll look sweet.

[motty]

I will hopefully get change to take some decent pictures over the weekend. i work 12hour shifts so i go to work and its dark and i come home and its dark so not had change yet.

Im a automated crane engineer mate. Anyone thinking of getting a ibiza cupra DONT!! There really good fun but soon as you put a bigger turbo on them and stuff they breakdown everyday!!

All depends on the mileage and what turbo its got and what map its got. The leon cupra's dont fetch that much money, compared to the cupraR. £900 exhaust :duh: is it gold plated? i had a blueflame turbo back exhaust inc dcat and 3.5inch downpipe and it was only £500. You will always have to splash out on coilpacks and maf sensors with it being remaped. just that that into account if your planning on swapping :)
