FAO people with APEX lowered springs

[dave parker]

Can you guys help me out

Am trying to persuade myself that lowered springs will be exactly what i need for my 2013 Ibiza TOCA.

Trying my best not to have to get coilovers but am struggling to decide which springs.

Really wanted H&R 25/40 but i think that the rear sits too low on some pics, but awesome on others

Next best is 35mm springs all round but only really APEX available.

Eibach would be good apart from only 25mm so not low enough.

Can you post pics on here to show me how low your cars are and tell me which springs?

h and r springs are bang on mate...tbh thow there not low enough for me so coilovers it is... also with lowering springs to me do not handle no where near as good than with coilovers obv....

 

[dave parker]

Car looks awesome mate

Is it just me or does it sit a bit lower at back still?

That's just the angle of the picture mate.

I have H&R too and they do sit even, but same as above, not quite low enough or stiff enough for me so will be switching to coilovers.

Thanks buddy
Have you any pics?

H&R ON MY 2010 2.0 fr

it has settled a little more now, more like the white car at the top of the page

Cheers!

So you would recommend them too?

i assume no need for changing droplinks?

H&R are the best in my opinion as well. I had eibachs on my last fr and tbh you could hardly notice the difference. Pic below is of cupra with H&Rs.

Cheers guys

Sounds like you all are pleased with your H&R's!!!

Keep pics coming though

Also, I assume ther is no need for shorter droplinks with just springs?

 

[MattMK5]

No need for droplinks mate they dont lower it that far at all

Yeah happy with mine. I find it a little more bouncy however it's not as crashy as the standard setup if that's makes sense. Standard setup was terrible

 

[dave parker]

So even though my car is a lowly TOCA I guess I will get the same stance as you guys??

 

[MjrSharpe]

It will indeed, and a toca is still a nice car

 

[dave parker]

Just as a a comparison, has anyone got -30 or -35mm springs like Apex or similar?

Any pics would be great

Hi Dave
both my car and the wifes have PI -30mm springs on, seriously happy with them, they are not overpriced like the other manufacturers and come with a lifetime guarantee from PI. (PI supply car manufacturers iirc) both cars are 1.4 n/a not cupra or fr models. the springs have done 13000 on mine (bit less on the wifes) the ride quality is fine and the stance of the car is right. if you get the -25/-40 then if you put anyone in the back seats the car squats badly to the rear that's why the rear sits slightly higher normally to cope with up to 150Kg sat on the rear seat. Sorry I do have pics but never post anything but words on-line.
Hope that's of some help to you.

Can anyone with springs other than H&R please post their opinions and pics please?

Need to make a decision

 

[dave parker]

Anyone????
