Aftermarket Coilovers?

I own a 04 Seat Leon Fr PD 150.

I'm looking to buy aftermarket new springs and shocks for it but I'm not sure which type I can fit in my car. I am able to find websites advertising coilovers for both front and back but when I look under my car the fronts are coilovers but in the rear the shocks and springs are separate. So this makes me wonder;

Will front and back coilovers fit my car or do I need to get front coilovers and rear separate springs and shocks?

If they do in fact fit, do I need any other suspension components replaced in the rear to make it fit?

And finally, if anyone has any advice or recommendations for coilovers id gladly take anything. This is the first time im messing around with aftermarket components and dont really know what to expect. Im looking for something with adjustable heights and dampening, preferably from a good quality company to simplify things. I dont mind spending more to guarantee itll work great.

Thanks.

Leon 'coil over kits' will all be Seperate damper & spring assembly at the rear. Unless you have upgrade already at front what you have is what is known as a mcpherson strut assembly (damper/spring) combined. Have a search on here for recommended kits Kw, eibach, fk, st, bilstein the list is endless and ultimately comes down to budget and what you mainly use your car for
