Hi guys new to owning a seat ibiza cupra 1.8t
and loving it. Spec on car so far all done
By previous owner blue flame exhaust system with sports cat , BMc Cone filter 4bar fuel regulator forge diverted valve forge recirculation dv boost and oil pressure gage in carbon fibre pillar mount, and what he said was rare azev 17" alloys. Also what he said has had a stage 1 remap and is running 190bhp but no printout I think it has had a remap as I keep up with my mates subaru and my other mates accord type r. Really surprised me how quik this car is also my first turbo car so loving it lol. My first question is what lowering get springs would you recommend with the 17" wheels I have. Thanks I will post pics when I can.

get a good set of coilovers and get the car on 16s and lowered to a level where its improving your handling as there not the best in this department!

Can't really afford coilovers unless it's the cheap ones on eBay but I doubt they would be any good as they are so cheap that's why I was going to go with lowering springs was looking at eibech pro kit with the 17s in got now would that be an OK set up? If not think I'm gona sell them wheels then. A few more posts and when I'm able to post pictures il put them up on here. Thanks for your reply m8

I've got JOM coilovers off eBay on mine, around £190 on standard 16's, as low as they'll go. I'm eventually gonna raise it back up a bit but right now it doesn't rub. I find JOM's are a little bouncy like but you get used to it in no time. This is how mine sits...

Looks smart mate I may get get some myself then. Need to sell my 17s first then get some 16s I like the look of rota grid drifts.

if you buy the 16x8 et10 grids that im running you will need 10mm spacer to clear standard brake setup
