lowered on H&R cup kit

Post by logistix »

Hey everyone, got my H&R cup kit fitted last thursday, i have to say i'm pretty pleased with the outcome, although it turned out to be a bit too low for my taste and convenience. It's as comfortable as the original setup, and there is no body roll whatever curve you take! Overall i'm very happy and would recommend it to all 9n owners

Don't hear so much from you these days logistix :cry:

Is the H&R Cup Kit just shocks and springs? How low is it now? :)

i'm busy with my school sidaba, it's come to the point where i wash my car once a month... didn't believe it could happen :cry:
As for the suspension, the H&R cup kit includes H&R gas struts (some say they are produced by Sachs, some say Bilstein) and H&R lowering springs. The front struts are shorter in length to accompany the springs. They have two cupkit products, for 9n with less than 880kg front load and for 9n with more than 881kg. My 1.4 TDi weighs 900 at the front, so my distributor emailed H&R about which one to get and they recommended the one for lighter engines.
The drop is definitely more than the advertised 40mm front/35mm rear. I'm waiting for it to settle a little more so i can measure the distance. I also need a full tracking / camber adjustment with this drop right?

By the way, happy new year to all forum members and families!
