Eibach or FK Springs on my LC??

[ChrisJ]

I have done quite a lot on my leon now, i would just like an opinion on this as i feel it will finish the car off nicely.....

I need to know which is best, Eibach or FK Springs bearing in mind i still want a nice smooth ride and only a 30mm drop.

Thanks people!

I've had Eibachs on mine for the last 4 years and been well pleased.
Couldn't comment on the FK's but when I was doing my research for my suspension upgrade I found on the SEAT website the spec for their Leon Sport Suspension upgrade pack and it was Eibach springs with Bilstein shocks, which kind of swung it for me along with this review in the Infobase on here:

I got the Konis as they are adjustable and seemed to be a favourite.
Like I said this was 4 years ago and things do move on but I wouldn't hesitate in choosing Eibach again.

i know they're not Eibach or FK but what about H&R springs, had them on my VR6 with bilstein shocks and they were great, progressive wound so that normal driving is still comfy but push on a bit and you can feel where your money's gone!

just a thought, failing those i'd have to say Eibach.

Yer, wouldn't rule them out either, heard good things about their springs and ARB's.

i would get wietec springs as they are made by KW , i have a few friends running these on a few type of vag rate , and they rate them better that FK and eibach

Update! I have found this set of "FK Highsport coilovers and springs" on www.rimstyle.com

[ChrisJ]

In the end i opted for the Eibach full set

I've got the Eibach stuff on mine - much better than stock, but without at least a rear ARB i still dont think its great. I remember driving away from the garage after having mine fitted, and being a little disheartened, but maybe thats just me.

I need springs for mines now as mines current one are badly damaged (god knows- checked by VW rescue). Not too keen on coily for now. How much are eibach springs aprox? seem quite good. so far i had Pi springs on my Golg mk4 and couldnt fault them.

 

[chris_m]

Think the springs on their own can be had for about £120.

Saying that, having had one car on springs only, id never do it again - it just makes mincemeat of the already rubbish dampers

 

[nibbles]

heres mine

 

[kernowcupra]

anyone know if the gmax shocks and spring kits are any good?

 

[ChrisJ]

hmm, they are very cheap so probably wont really improve the handling asuch......just make the car look lower.
