Coilover & Spacer Help

[CupraGTI16V]

If i mount 20mm spacers with stock rims and tyres (also with 70mm drop), will my tyres get shredded?

 

[Zero]

If someone sit on the back seats than i have problems with 20mm spacers but my car is lower than 70mm.

Here is my car with 3 people inside


I would say that the best size for spacers is 15-18mm in combination with original fenders of course

yeah you'll get slight scrubbing, could just roll the arches?
or go for 15mm spacers? or don't let people sit in the car hahaha

Thanks for your respeonse guys.
Then i'll buy 15mm spacers for the back tyres.

Does anyone have a picture with 15mm mounted at the back tyres with stock rims?

 

[suj]

20mm is fine, will slight rub with passengers, that is all

 

[CupraGTI16V]

I don't want any rub because roads in Turkey are awful.
If it slightly rubs in your country with passengers, it'll rub too much when driving alone here
But i need pictures to compare 15mm and 20mm to decide.

 

[suj]

I bet you the roads in britain are probably the same as turkey, I look likeim drunk as I am avoiding potholes lol

I'm sure Orangemuffin used to have 15mm spacers, and brummy used to have 20mm spacers, there wasn't much different (half a centimetre a side is nothing)

 

[abhardwaj1990]

As suj said, there's not much difference between them, 5mm on each side, hardly noticeable lol

 

[CupraGTI16V]

Then 15mm is better because of no rubbing

I've got 20mm's on mine and I'm dropped 110mm, Only rubs when people sit in the back so I tend not to let them..

 

[CupraGTI16V]

I think i must see pictures to decide

Im about 80mm maybe more on 25mm spacers. But im a t.w.a.t

An i don't let people in the back. The thing you have to fink of is on my last mk2 cupra i had hot tunning ones wound down to the bottom thread an used to still be able to have people in the back as there that hard the car don't move when you have more/less weight in it

you had no spacers on your old one did you skot?
or was they thin ones?

 

[CupraGTI16V]

also i would get new top mounts while you are changing the suspension, doesn't cost too much

Do these top mounts have a part number Suj?

 

[GtiBoy]

Nar didnt have spacers on me old one sujy.

I ave on this one tho. There 25mm on each side an coilovers are pretty wound down to be fair id say about 80mm or summat

 

[CupraGTI16V]

Any help ?

 

[suj]

Sorry mate, I do not know the part number, if you PM fl@pper he might be able to help (ETKA doesn't work for me the moment)

 

[CupraGTI16V]

I got the coilovers today. They look awesome. But it's writing something else (not hottuning) on them.

 

[suj]

TA Technix?

that is because hottuning just buy off them, and charge you less for them
