Sausage Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Expensive? that's per strut mind. Is this for the rear or all round? Is this going to be fast road or built for competition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) Link says front, incorrect mounting type too to fit on the back. Edited July 5, 2017 by cj1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for the front. As I'm using a Mk3 Golf front subrame for the rear I have to get Golf front coilovers fro the rear of the Lupo. 3 hours ago, Sausage said: Expensive? that's per strut mind.

Yes they are quite expensive but I have a direct account with Bilstein (I own a motor factors in S.Wales)so I get the quite a lot cheaper.

Rich Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 golf front coilovers actually fit the front of a lupo as well. theoretically you could fit the turret from the front of a loop to the back for this application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of cutting the turrets from front of golf & welding them into the rear but also veering towards fabricating my own. Didn't know Golf fitted to Lupo front turrets though, thanks.??
