Well i have now changed the wheel colour and fitted Eibach Sportlines & WALK.....overall very happy with the changes the steering and handling is more sharper and with the lowered look and black wheels give it more attitude and gets away from the more suttle look.

Hope u like Cheers Craig....;)

Dribbling, OEM perfection in my opinion. Great car looks even better now.

If I could I'd be in a MK2 R tomorrow

It was Eibach Sportlines and would recommend them..they where around £150 delivered, on my car they said it would lower 20 front and 30 rear but it does seem lower tbh.

only thing with lowering the car is if you end up with a shock leaking or any issues with the suspension the warranty is not going to look at you.

If we were talking about the Ibiza I would agree with you but the Leon doesn't have bushes made of buble gum so you shouldn't have any problems with a little lowering.
