What for??

If it's an earlier Ibiza then it has to be the Bilstein Suspension kit.

Or Spax do a very nice adjustable one too.

If it's a later Ibiza it's the PSS9 kit (i think)

dunno about the Leon though.

We will supply fit and set up a fully height and pressure adjustable PSS9 kit for £1000 inc vat.

Makes massive difference to handling and should you wish can make the car 3 inches lower

Yep, the PSS9 kit is the one to get.

Got mine from Amethyst, fitted ready for the pickup of my 210 Ibiza.

The suspension is very good... now all I need is wider wheels!

BTW, the height and damping settings that Amethyst done (As recommended by RSD I think) are very good. Nice and low but still just about makes it over the speed ramps... hard enough to handle very well but not to knock your fillings out!

Is it just the TDi's or do you Cupra (leons) guys have a problem with groundong the front subframe/sumpguard??
My Leon TDi is forever straping and banging if you for instants go down a narrow country lane with high central camber etc.
I want to up rate suspension, but feel my only option is uprated shocks with standard springs.
Unfortunatly I dont want super hard springs due to my 35K/year mileage.
