Leon 35mm issues??

[L5NTN]

Hi Guys.

Just a quick one, and please no ''USE SEARCH'' comments becuase i already have with no results.

I am looking to lower my mk1 2003 leon 35mm on some springs, just wondered if i would experience any possible arch / arb clearnce issues.

Thanks

What engine is it mate. Even them I'm sure 35mm won't have problems

So long as they're not random wheels or tyres I see no problem.

My arb doesn't run but mines a R , but my arb is creaking like a *******!

your arb goes under the driveshaft though so it wont rub im pretty sure, the rest of us the ARB goes over the driveshaft so when we drop there is potential for rubbing on the shaft

Yeah mines a different set up up that a cupra! Looks like I better get saving for a new arb!

I fitted -35mm koni springs on my lc but You will only notice -25 due to stock sport suspension -10mm standard I think I have no trouble at all on 17s

Would you say go for 45mm then to see a real difference? Or would you havta then go for new shocks etc for going that low?

Im looking into H&R springs from dpm, any recommendations tho? Are eibach worth the extra £50 or so exta?

I have a 225 with eibach sportlines which have dropped the front by 35mm and no issues at all that I'm aware of, any lower and you'll need to replace the drop links too.

My fr is lowered 35mm on 19s with no arch rub.

Be fine, only be careful as the sump is a lot lower now.
