Eibach Lowering springs - before & after

[MatTheMerciless]

Eibach Pro Line Lowering Springs - 35mm drop. £114 delivered.
Precision aluminium hub centric wheel spacers - 15mm. £69 with extended wheel bolts (no locks).

Surprised how far it's dropped. Glad I didn't go with the Sport Line springs, as I still need to drive the thing with 5 people and a dog in it.

I've used Eibach springs in the past. They're really comfortable and make the car feel sharper and more direct.

Found it difficult to take pictures that show the difference the wheel spacers have made. The stance is way better now though. much more aggressive.

I just ordered Racingline springs for my cupra

I would think they’re probably made by eibach though

Did you renew the top mounts and bearings at the same time?

Can I be cheeky and ask the eibach part number for the kit you fitted?

No, but it need two new shocks on the front

It's a standard TDI Leon with solid rear axle.

Check out http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/RallyShop-International if you're interested. The springs were £40 cheaper than anywhere else online.
I had the garage fit them during a service and MOT to cut the labour time down too. It needed two new front shocks anyway, but still worth trying to get stuff done at the same time.

Just bare in mind the front stance on mine will be slightly different due to the camber plates

 

[Damo H]

You can really see the difference with the camber at the front...

Top is after if you can’t tell. Only done 20 miles since fitted.

 

[Damo H]

Better comparisons photos as wheels are straight...
Top is before in these. I was wrong when I first posted previously lol Edited the post now.

 

[KernelOkey]

Daaamn that is awesome Damo How much do they drop?

Officially 15mm. But the same front spring on a none 4drive officially drops 25mm.

Hope it doesn’t settle too much more as I think it’s perfect.

 

[KernelOkey]

Ok, yeah it sits perfect atm Im going with H&R or Eibach on mine.

I'm convinced that I read somewhere that Eibach springs are engineered so they don't settle like other springs do. How are you finding the ride quality? I can definitely feel the bumps more, but there's way less roll in the corners now. Also, my car looks less like a surprised cat now, so, bonus!

Ride in comfort, is honestly little different. Only when you hit a massive bump can you tell it’s harder.

Cupra mode is noticeably firm but less crashy.

But not driven it much. Only drove it home and mainly in rush hour traffic.

 

[Damo H]

This is the camber at the front...

 

[wms_F1]

Looks awesome @Damo H

Sits pretty perfect now!

Can I ask which springs did you go fo?? Pro Kit or Sportlines??


Thanks
