Having driven my wife's Leon FR TFSI a few times now I've noticed how harsh the ride really is. I think the best word to describe it is "jolting". I feel sorry for anyone with an FR who has either lots of fillings a bad back or a glass eye or worse, all of the above.
I know that this is a well reported critism on the FR and lots of people are going for coil overs and a full suspension upgrade which I am most definitely not looking to do as it is not required.
What is required however is a comprise by maybe just swapping the old springs out with a set of Eibach's which will lower it a little into the bargain.
Has anyone any experience of this option and how much better is the ride quality afterwards?
Whilst I appreciate the FR is a performance car and rides are firm I feel that Seat have gone too far and got this one wrong, hence the softer springs on the new Cupra R.
Look forward to any helpful comments or thoughts.
