Today is a second day for my leon cupra 2wd having coilovers of German top coilovers producer KW gmbh (also dtm supplier, which German version of bttc), more precisely KW Coilovers Variant2, which is not only height adjustable but has also adjustable damping force. Springs are produced by KW and Dampers are Koni's adjustables (remember the fast & the furious:D). After a day of testing I set the damping almost at hardest level, and the height is pretty low indeed - on front shaft there is about 1,5cm of coils left and on rear shaft just about 0,5 cm. That about it of tech specs, what bout performance? Shortly said: I cannot imagine anything better. This is the best thing my leon has ever seen. On 16" winter tyres feels so good you wouldn't believe. The car feels so perfectly balanced, there is no more that heavy nose feeling, the steering feels much more direct, simply put: the car goes wherever you point it to. No understeer, no oversteer, just pure traction. And all that on winter tyres. This is definitly mod I would greatly recommend to all Cupra owners, especially those with 2wd.

And for desert few pics and two movie clips:

How much were the springs and dampers as i'm looking for fixed height sprins and adjustable dampers.

Is it just me or does the rear wheel in the arch look a long way forward?

Dampers & springs kit was little under 1000€. I had to replace front stabilizer aswell, which was 240€.


Regarding the rear wheel: It is the same with all cupra v6 or cupra r bumpers. Even more noticeable on lowered ones. It doesn't really bother me, I haven't ever considered this issue before u've brought it up.
