I'm always super paranoid about it, so Many jealous, filthy people living by me... If I'm leaving it somewhere it either has to be directly under a camera or in sight from where I am :/ but everything is within walking distance of my house so going to town isn't too bad. pain in the bum when it comes to parking elsewhere but it seems to work ... Takes ages to find a space lol
-
No worries... And that should make it a fair bit stiffer?
Thanks alot mate
-
Ye I know that as stated above but any ideas where I could get them from as I can't find a number for prosport themselves nor remember which eBay buyer I got them from?
-
Helper springs!
?
-
I have awlays wondered what that was for lol
Now I know
thanks
-
Yes you should have them mate. People normally take them out to go lower than the lowest setting on the front.
Oh :( I had them new so I don't know why I didn't have them and the seller had good ratings on ebay but I can't remember who it was :/
so having this would make it stiffer?
That's probably why my arches scrape on the tyre over bumps at speed ;(
Any ideas where I could source these from?
-
As per title, I have a set of pro sport coilovers which I purchased about 10 months ago... A mate of mine recently bought the same ones for the Same price... I noticed his car was alot stiffer so had a look and he's got mini springs underneath the large ones on the front, I believe they are called helper springs, should i have these? Also cannot find a number on the web to contact pro sport :/ thanks in advance. Jack
-
Thanks going to give it a go tomorrow.
Will i notice a difference lowered with a whiteline RARB? - people say i wont?
Cheers
I noticed it more with standard suspension, but haven't tried the coilovers without it so not sure, it's very stiff and the back end is very naughty at times lol but I recently put a front strut brace in which seems to have tied it all in nicley
-
There's a funny shaped bit that you'll need for the fronts, it's like a star shap ( sorry I don't know the name if it) it's around the back if the hub. jack up the car equslly, and when doing them it will be handy to have the jack free to lift the struts/ rear beam into place to bolt easier
also make sure each side is measured properly when adjusting height... good luck mate
-
It's just had an oil change and new turbo (standard) but it was chugging out black smoke, was like a james bind film with a smoke screen on the go lol
-
A good coat of polish helps a lot.
I used to be able to rinse the back of my car off with the paint well sealed.
Ok, cool
thanks
-
This was after driving 10 miles lol (she's being looked at next Monday
would this damage my paint work by leaving it there? It's been in the garage for ny on 2 weeks now with this on it :(

A mate of mine just used a multi meter to find a good earth and his rip speed one worked fine, alert from the cr*p quality of the heady bit in general
-
Eibach springs were spot on when i had them on my old furby
Ive gone weitec springs atm, more solid and tbh look abit better drop than the eibachs. I was in same boat as you. Looks are not important if you cant drive the car anywhere :')
Were you on standard shocks?
-
A friend of mine put just eibach springs on his fabia and it was like a bouncy castle, truly awful
-
Rolling radius will change, so could potentially throw speedo out a little (use http://www.etyres.co.uk/tyre-size-calculator.htm).
It'll handle better in wet & snow, but other than that, as you're retaining the same profile size, there will be less rubber between you & road, so may feel a little 'crashy'. Try it & find out innit =) I went up a profile on mine, (to 205,50,16) and it made the world of difference to the feel of the car.
Thanks, that will come in handy mate
-
If i've got 205/40/17's would it make a worth while difference (handling, or anything else) putting 195/40/17's when I change tyres next?
-
Too high
nah not a clue sorry bud

Could this be fitted to the fabia?
-
Tps in Swansea, It was £165 new, ;( but its non returnable as its an electrical product. So if it turns out mine wasn't faulty then I won't be a balky bunny lol
-
No, but I might soon

Anyone noticed how high the window sill is on an Ibiza compared to a fabia? From driving my mates I think it Gives a sense of a higher ride height :(
-
Pritty sure as car goes limo mode at times and tells me its turbo under boost and it cant b the turbo as its shiny new
I had a revo generic map, I was told mine was faulty do put a mates one on and it blew, bought a new one and a new turbo out it all togeather and blew another lne within 3 days, but I'm thinking it may have been a faulty turbo and the supplier is covering sumin up! Lol
-
It wont slow it down as such but might create abit more lag but hopefully when i have it live mapped it will all run spot on
Are you selling the smaller one mate?
Should I have these little springs? :/
in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)

Haha fair enough, aslong as I don't need them then ill leave them lol
Just to clarify... Do they make it stiffer or softer?
