  1. Wonder if anyone can help me, im looking to lower my lupo sport soon and looking to get some mini superlites or if any come up for sale some vw starlites, the plan is to lower it as much as i can and incase the wheels rub ill need to camber it. Ive seen if you have rear drums you use camber shims but the lupo sport has rear discs, how would you change camber on that? Is it the same as the front? some advice would be appreciated, thanks
  2. Just been quoted by my insurance company (Admiral) that they would want £128 extra? if i was to change the suspension in my car and they said they would allow me to change the wheels for no extra fee if i was to do this. So i am thinking of putting some 50inch truck wheels on and raising the suspension 1500mm! Well really they said i can do anything up to 50mm (5cm there words) So that in mind, also bearing in mind im on a tight ass student budget! What are the pro's and Cons of Buying a set of springs £64 for my TDI 1.4 lupo or buying (i think its the cheapest) JOM Blueline Coilovers at £189. Is the handling, braking, accelerating, comfort, reliability or anything better by having the whole coilover kit as appose to just the springs? bearing in mind my lupos suspension is nearly 11 years old! One last question oooober question. If i was to go out and get some new wheels for my Lupo at some point, would it be best to do this before putting on the new coilovers (as they are adjustable) that way i would no if the wheels fit or not? or would i be able to just crank the suspension height right up put the wheels on, and then lower the car back down to a specific height, as obviously wheels change the ride height, (is adjusting it a simple job?) (Spring clamps are about £10) So the difference is really £64 + £10 + £128 = £202 £189 + £10 + £128 = £327 Thanks people.

  5. 1999 Black Lupo S 1.4 16v T468 GCK Cheap Tax & Insurance. Easy on petrol. 102k Happy miles. NEW GEARBOX + clutch assembly at VW dealership in 2007 = £1800! Big inspection 2010: New cambelt + Belt tensioner + Full service (spark plugs, oil change and Pipercross airfilter). Lowered / wheel alignment / new back box and 2 new front tyres. Service history stamps in the original vehicle wallet + receipts. Front pipe + cat done in 2005. Blacked badges front and rear. Side strips smoothed / removed. De-wipered rear. Bee sting aerial. Lowered on JOM coilovers as far as it will go. VW ‘Kyalami’ 14” Alloys (Standard on Sport 16v/TDI) with new centre caps. Stickerbombed rear pop out window, (I can remove these with a hairdryer if the buyer prefers). Sendai CD headunit. (Yep, never heard of them either!) Looks great inside and out except for the usual wear and tear for an 11 year old car, stone chips to the bonnet (why so many Lupo owners roll with a bonnet bra) and a slight colour mismatch on the drivers wing mirror. Also has a dent on both sides down by the sill where it looks like someone has tried jacking it up badly. Really nice little car, practical and fun. Reason for sale: I've just bought an MX-5 so no longer have the space for the loop. Flew through MOT in October with no problems so fresh ticket for the next 12 months, come and get it. Tax til March 2012 and still insured. Ready to drive away. £1200 Located in Bedford. Call 07791167369.
  6. Hey I know this has been raised many times about coilovers. I have a 1.0 lupo SE and I want to lower it on some coilovers in the future. I will be on a budget but might be willing to spend for quality. So I was wondering which are the best coilovers I can get for a good price. Also will fitting them myself be a huge problem?
