I didnt think the Cup could get any better, but now its been teamed up with Eagle F1 GSD3s and Eibach Pro springs and it is absolutely amazing!!!

There is so much more grip and feeling its superb!

Am very please with my first mod!!

You certainly need em.

 

[Essex_lads_bro]

Its so worth it mate! There amazing!!

One thing ive noticed is that the knocking has stopped now these spring have been fitted, is it just me or has anyone else found this?

 

[RS-Steve]

i ordered my eibachs today, really lookin 4ward to gettin them fitted.

ive already changed the tyres after 3k miles

 

[Essex_lads_bro]

my contis only lasted 5000 miles, poor things lol

 

[RS-Steve]

i just thort they were crap!!

 

[Essex_lads_bro]

i agree lol, but am to much of a tight ass to buy some new ones without wearing the old ones out first lol!

 

[McBunny]

well in that case the f1s might only last 1 k lol

 

[scooby stu]

heard a bit about the Eibach Pro springs.....how much of a drop do they give (I dont want the car "slammed") ?

Any pics ?

Thought about springs when I had my Cupra (yeah, I know, I got wise and got a Cup !) but drove a couple with Eibach springs only and the car felt like a po-go stick. Suspension just wasnt settled. Do the standard shocks on a Cup pair up well with the Pros ?

Cheers.

 

[Essex_lads_bro]

20mm front, 15mm back.

Will do some pics soon, let them settle 1st...

Yea they seem a very good combo!

 

[powelly]

[RobFenn]

Reckon there are 2 shorts of knocking - the engine mount type plus good old fashioned wheel spin "bang bang bang" axle tramp. My Eibach Pros have definitely reduced the latter - can still get it but is less extreme and frequent. Probably something to do with the change in angle of the drive shafts!?

Downside of Eibachs is that Ive now managed to wear out the edges (both sides of tyre and both tyres so I know its not a geometry problem) of my F1s by going round corners too quickly Still legal since middle 3/4 are still (well) legal, but gonna have to change them soon since dont want to slide it cornering hard in the wet when the edges dont hold. Gonna replace them with F1s all round and get rid of the crap original Michelins on the back!
