Leon FR Suspension

[bookeyuk83]

Anyone know if the suspension can be softened a little?
If so how much hassle is it and approx cost?

Yeah recently installed eibach sportline springs. Ride is lowered 35mm at back and about 55mm at front. The ride is a lot less 'crashy' now.

A lot of ppl are going for Koni FSD dampners and eibach sportline springs. A lot better ride than standard.

Have you got 17's or 18's?

17's are much nicer to drive around on.

 

[bookeyuk83]

I have got 18's on.
Thanks for the tips.

As said, a lot of people are using the Eibach springs and the Koni FSD dampers to improve the ride quality.

Isn't the proline kit recomended with the koni's? As the sportline lowers it too much?

 

[DamianPM]

We have a lot of customers using the Sportlines with the FSDs as well.

Hmm think I may stay with the prolines as the koni's were designed for oem springs.

Here's mine, running 18's and lowered by eibach sportline's. Purchased from DPM.

don't mean to come across as a boring old fart, but is it possible to get these kits fitted and leave ride height pretty much as it is? i'd be interested in changing the factory setup as i do find the ride crashy (as do my passengers!) so does ride height have to be less to ensure a smoother ride?

 

[jdearden]

To be honest even the sportline springs down't feel like too much of a drop i've not caught bumper on any speed bumps. But i suppose you could go for the koni fsd dampners and keep your standard springs. Should make a difference to your rid quality...

Done it...has FSD's fitted and kept standard springs on my FR 170. Net result...brilliant. I have posted around here regarding this, there'll be lots to read somewhere!

You think the FR is hard try a Civic Type r

 

[DamianPM]

As said, try the FSD's and keep the standard springs and the ride quality will be noticeably better.

Can You arrange shipment to Poland?

 

[DamianPM]

Yeah that's not a problem although it won't be cheap with the weight and value of the items.

i had a civic type r before my FR.... the ride was bloody awful.... then it rolled 3 times after skidding accross a slip road (due to diesel) then up the bank...then i got my FR!!!

I have decided to go this way, my Fr already has eibach pro kit springs and I have just ordered Koni Fsds from Damian service so far excellent. Fitting due Friday and will report back!

 

[DamianPM]

Thanks again for the order.
