Fr lowering advice??

[Checkley8]

Has been covered over and over but after some opinions.... Looking to lower my Fr what's everyone's choice in terms of springs for a level drop?

Don't want to ruin the comfort but want to fill the arches a little more .... After searching the thread the h&r 40mm springs seem to be a good option

What's people's opinions?

Does anyone have any pictures of an Fr lowered on 40mm h&r springs?

This is mine on H&R springs. When I first got them, I thought hmmm, that isn't very low. But them seem to have settled now and I'm happy with them!

 

[Checkley8]

Thanks for the pic looks smart exactly what I'm after...

What's the ride and handling like compared to standard springs?

40mm H&R for £150 can't go wrong:

Going to go with the 40mm h&r where's the cheapest place to get them?

There's only one H&R spring kit for the mk2 Leon, they lower 30 or 40 mm depending which model you fit them to. On the Cupra and FR you get a 30 mm drop.

There is a German seller on eBay who is about the cheapest, item number: 200874286055

See the post directly above yours.

For just springs most members go for either the H&R 40mm kit or the Eibach Sportline 50mm/35mm kit.

I too have 40mm H&R's and love them. Improved ride over standard and also bought from the seller mentioned a bit further up.

How does the Mk2 manage with clearance over speedbumps when lowered on H&R springs?

I live in a built-up area in a major city, so naturally I can't do more than 500 yards without incurring a speed bump or 4..... At the moment being standard height I can drive straight over the middle of most of them and barely need to slow down......

I've had a seriously low car in the past and it was not fun crawling over bumps at 2 mph at awkward angles to avoid scraping/hitting something

TBH it will be fine, we are talking 30mm/1inch it's nothing.

 

[Dan FR]

You haven't seen the speed bumps round this way!

I genuinely think it will make a huge difference. Been wanting to lower it for the last 2 years

 

[Daniel M]

I think you'll be fine Dan, but the really big ones will need to be taken one wheel on, one off if you know what I mean. I personally suffer no issues or scraping.

I have the H&R springs and a triple R front splitter making the front even lower to the ground. But I've not scraped a speed bump (yet) and there are all sorts around here, the rounded ones, double bumps (FFS) and those sharp angled ones.

Will these fit the face lift fr alright? Been wanting to lower it for a year now. Sorry if this is a stupid question don't know a lot about cars mechanically lol
