My KW vary 1s are very hard but have transformed the handling.

Think you've answered your own question, when most threads are about wietecs.

I ran them and they were good

weitecs it is then pal , which anti roll bar works best with the wietecs then , 28mm

Either the 28mm or the 24mm.

If your gonna uprate the front then go with the 28mm, for the front I'd go with an R32 arb

cheers bud , wheres best to get the farb , new to this skoda game lol, and where is best for the wietecs , do they come with different spring rates

Try dpm performance (forum sponsor) for the wietecs and eBay or vw dealer for the front arb. Also do the front top mounts and bearings while your at it

thanks m8 , am i right in thinkin the leon cupra r mount fit

I think they do mate but I'm not 100% so you'd need to clarify it. I'm sure there's someone on here with them on there's

Yes I have cupra r top mounts on mine.

Lots of threads on this mate.

Coilovers:

KW v3 (best)£1300

KW v1 £750-600

Weitec GT £450

Others £150-350

Top mounts from LCR are stiffer plus lots more money. Std will be fine and are less than half the price. Bearings are the same.

Rear ARB with std 19mm front.

Whiteline 22mm adj

Whiteline 24mm adj (best option imo)

25mm Eibach, and others

RARB with R32 23mm front.

Whiteline 24mm

25mm bar good option

28mm spot on for me

Neuspeed

Damian @ DPM Performance

thanks m8 , replyed

Got a nice set of kwv3 for sale just had new drivers cartridge so like brand new

600 these cost 1300new

coilovers ordered , is there any other bits worth changing while doing this job , am goin to change the top mounts , will i need longer/shorter drop links to help the roll bar

nope.

bearings and top mounts a must, be sure to get the Threaded bush off the old stuff tho!

its what holds the bush and bearing on

right lads , got the coilovers today , but am unsure which make top mount to get becasue theres no skoda dealer near me.

had a look on the euro car parts and some is 30quid and others a 10er , can any 1 recomend a topmount for me and bearing please , cheers

the tenner ones will be the std and the 30 the LCR bushes.

I would stick with std. the bearings are all the same.

will these be the correct 1s
