Does anybody have pictures with 50/40mm lowering springs fitted? I've found a set of Lowtec springs (from Germany) which say they lower the front by 50mm and the back by 40mm, but I'm not sure if that will be too much or not. I'm currently running the stock 17 inch wheels but I'm going to get some aftermarket 17 or 18 inch wheels later down the line. I've watched videos of other people fitting 35mm springs but the front normally sits higher and there is still too much of an arch gap for my liking. I'm going for more of a flush fitment ideally.
I have just purchased a 2006 Seat Leon FR (170hp 2.0 TDI) and the suspension was recently replaced by the previous owner, but I assume they fitted parts from a base model as it currently looks like a monster truck. From what I've read the FR should be lower from factory, but mine isn't at the moment.
Another option is air suspension. I already own a full air suspension kit from another car which should also fit this Seat Leon, but since I'll be daily driving this car and taking it on quite a few long journeys, I'm not sure that's the best option (never daily driven a car on air). I don't want to spend mega amounts so I think coilovers are out of the question, as I've heard some pretty bad things about the low-mid range options.
TIA.
