Gaz's GlanzaV Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Its got a RECARO drivers seat, thats all you need for the driver i think, but was considering a change on the passenger one, just to complete the front half of the car, i`ve got a few seats in mind .....

joe-ep91 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Well nice mate. What are the rsr springs like mate. Im thinking of getting some for mine. Joe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riko666 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 don't bother, they're too soft Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 lol it depends, i rate them highly, the spring rates are close to standard but the ride hight is lower, i ran a set on my old glanza and they were pretty effective compared to coilovers,id recomend them but some people have comented that they make the arse end sit too high Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz's GlanzaV Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 Dont listen to anybody else telling you about rsr springs... i`ve got the RSR Down springs, Dont go for the race ones, the down springs are progressive springs, they are a little soft when driving normaly, but are pretty good when you want to go hard, plus, just give you that bit more confidence when on the good old scottish B roads Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chicco Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Nice car you have there mate. Why your rear beam looks like its rusting i dont know! the car looks clean all round tho and that radiator says to me it's been on there for a looong time... perhaps never had any front end troubles?where was the rear brace from?

WallaceGlanza Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Looking good mate, have you got a splitter on your splitter?! ;) How is the handling with the koni shocks and rsr springs, is it bouncy or does it take bumps well? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz's GlanzaV Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 The car is pretty clean, i`m the first uk owner of the car since i got it from Andy at 200bhp cars about a year and a half ago.The car has had no front end damage at all The strut brace i got from JDM Performance, the handling mods are more managable and comfortable to live with than coilovers i think..The front splitter is from a Seat cupra-R Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galliano Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 One of my all time fave glanzas this!Really love it, Makes me want to fit a Cupra lip to the Paseo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz's GlanzaV Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I did get a front mount a while ago from HDI, but i did`nt like it at all ! I`ve seen a few guys on here with some success but for me it did`nt fit well, as i found out i clashed with the front fog lights, so which in turn made it a bit of a b*****d to put the bumper back on. The kit was supposed to fit with the A/C but it was a bit of a struggle, with things being a bit tight for space and also having the A/C fan in the way. In short i personally did`nt like it so it had to go for sale, along with my HKS SSQV2, because i had a mate fabricate the mounting cup for the BOV on the inlet pipe..I dont think i`ll be spending a huge amount of money on the car a present, becuase i have a planned trip to Australia in October, so need to save the pennies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
