Apparently the Sportline kit drops the front by 50mm and the rear by only 30mm. Does this not look a bit odd as on my car the front is already a good 10mm lower than the rear as standard?

Does anyone have any pics of the sportline kit fitted preferably to a cupra?

Cheers.

Got to say I like the look of the Sportline's on the Leon 1P's...

Damian @ DPM

Out of interest, have you had a Cupra fitted with Eibach Sportlines and uprated dampers and if so, which dampers?

I see lots of people on here go with Koni FSD dampers with Pro Kit Springs, but I am interested to know if the Eibach dampers have been tried and tested on a Cupra as I would have thought that Eibach Dampers would go better with Eibach Springs?

Not on a Cupra but we have on other Leon 1P's. When fitting the FSD's you don't seem to get the full drop but with the Eibach dampers you get the full drop and they do seem to match the Sportline's a lot better. To be honest though most customers have just fitted them with the standard dampers.

Hi Damian i looking to get a set of sportlines for the 2.0 TDI FR and wondering if there is enough interest on here would you consider a group buy. If so how many would we need to get a decent discount?

I would be interested if you can do a deal to include the Eibach Dampers in the Group Buy seeing how I already have the Sportline Springs :)

Edit: For those who have not tried either, to me. the Pro Kit to was quite hard, and the ride height is not that much lower than standard. The Sportline gives a more supple ride, better handling and a much nicer stance without being too low - I do not have any problems with clearance.

Sportline springs from Damian@DPM

Note: They've settled down a bit more now after a few heavy loads and look spot on.

Cheers lad. You will enjoy the springs - the improvement over stock is very noticeable.
