Just wondering if anyone has any experience of H&R springs on a Cupra.
I had sportlines on my last FR and wondered if the H&R springs were lower or higher than sportlines and what ride quality was like?

I found some pics of both springs and the H&R sits higher at the rear.
Do these fit facelift?
Also anyone with them fitted on a facelift Cupra I would like your opinion.

Pretty sure they're available for a F/L Cupra as they do some for my F/L FR. I prefer the look of the Leon on H&R's compared to Sportlines.

Thanks for that. I also prefer the look on h&r as I had sportlines on my fr and it looked too low at the back.

Thanks for the link I saw them on there and Awesome but none say facelift.
I thought fl cars had different shocks so wanted to check these springs are still compatible.
Awesome are doing them for £193 delivered so I have asked them the question.

Ride quality is quite hard, doesn't both me though to tell the truth, was sorting through the pictures and I forgot they sit so high on standard springs

I got eibachs on my cupra. Massive difference. Ride is really nice. Stiff but not Like it's too hard. Defo recommend even like you said you had them on your previous car

For a level drop go for the H&R, for noise down go for the Eibach.

There's a couple of pictures here - http://www.facebook.com/pages/DPM-P...set=a.400697030681.180732.208281640681&type=3

For any prices just give me a shout.

Well I went with H&Rs.
I fitted the rears today which have dropped it 20mm maybe more once settled.
Going to fit the fronts tomorrow then do the alignment.

Heres a couple of pics just after it was done so will probably settle a bit.

I prefer the look of the H&Rs than the sportlines I had on my last car.
Also I can't believe how the ride is better and less harsh than standard
I have done nearly 50 miles since fitting and the ride is so much better like when crossing cats eyes etc its much smoother lets hope it stays that way.
I'm very pleased with the results

The ride isn't particularly wonderful on my FR as standard either. Maybe SEAT get the cheap bin when it comes to VAG shocks etc?!

When it's out of warranty coilovers will be going on mine.

That sits pretty nice, all the better if it comes down a wee bit when it settles
