Which Lowering Springs?

[Cr41g87]

Looking at lowering springs for my 2019 Leon ST 1.5TSI EVO FR Black Edition, when looking at the Eibach Pro-kits it mentions for the rear "independent suspension" and "live" axle. Am I right in thinking that semi-rigid is classed as live?

If you have torsion beam on the rear then that's non-independent suspension which some call 'live' yes.

Thanks! I will double check.

Only Leon's with MORE than 150ps have independent rear suspension - so your 130 or 150 1.5 would have beam/live rear suspension.

Thanks for confirming. Much appreciated.

Tagging onto this, I have the 1.8TSI SC with the multi-link suspensions looking to get a 30mm drop with the 18" Sports Alloys.
Are they sold with 30mm all round because I cannot find Eibach or other models with a 30mm front and 35mm rear, or am I being stupid?

I’ve only found 35mm FA & 30mm RA so far for my ST

I have a set of Eibach Sportlines in the garage ready to fit to my Cupra ST once it's back from being fixed

What’s the drop on them, is it 35mm FA & 30mm RA?

Lowering front (approx.) 45 mm / Lowering rear (approx.) 35-40 mm. All Measurements are based off of non-sport models so my Cupra will be slightly less of a drop from factory height.
