Suspension upgrade

The time of suspension tuning is come.

I decided to improve a bit my Cupra's road behaviour. The goal was to get less body rolls, more precise response to steering wheel and as result - get a quicker cornering speed.

Eibach B12 Sportline kit and APR anti-sway bars became my choice.

The set is ready for install

Front suspension installed

 Each anti-sway bar has 3 rigidity settings that can be adjusted according to the driver requirements. I wanted to reduce a car's under-steering a little, so as an initial setup I putted a front bar to its soft setting and rear to the middle rigidity.
After testing this setup on the track I decided to leave these settings. They are perfect for the daily driver.

The car response to steering wheel is much more precisely now, especially in high speed cornering - it's just going to the desired direction and perform this almost without any delays. Its allowing a slight sliding inside the corners and it easily controlled with accelerator and steering wheel -  the car is continuing to advance into the right direction. Car responses to the direction change is quite fast.
Driving comfort almost not affected, comparing to the stock suspension: it's slightly shaky on bumpy road, but not so much. Also, I think that the overall car look is better now.
Now it is much more fun to drive it on winding roads. Also surprisingly, the car is very calm now in the straight line on high speed.

In conclusion:
This kit is a solid addition to the car's road grip ability. I'm more than happy with this upgrade.
