GTi Springs - input/advice required.

Recommended Posts

Hi,

My GF has a Lupo GTi (2000)

It was purchased with chopped suspension (Pikey job, cut the OEM springs)

Coilivers are overkill for what she uses the car for, so, lowering springs look like the better option.

I have Eibach Sportlines (~35mm drop) and improved stability and handling on my Clio 172 and I'm more than happy with them, also, they were very well recommeded by other 1*2 owners.

-

Are there any specific springs that excel for the Lupo GTi ?

If none excel, are there a typre/brand that would come recommended?

Thanks,

Regards

I have the Eibachs on my GTi mate. They improve the handling a small amount and seem to work well with the shocks. Not really very low if you are running 15" but I have 16" wheels and the arch gap isnt toooo horrendous.

im soon to be fitting an AP fixed suspension kit of uprated dampers and lowered springs .... front 40mm rear 30mm supposedly...

i was in the same predicament as yourself bought the lupo for the other half to drive, but mines has shocking ebay coilovers on... worst handling car i've ever driven... so did a lot of research and i went with ap fixed suspension kit... all in to my door it is £280, which you can't go wrong with...

and i've read lots of good things about AP, same company as KW and Weitec but these are the budget option from them...

KW - best

Weitec - middle

AP - lower end

so im hoping all the reviews are correct and they are good :shades:
