Lowering and leveling sensor

[sebatje]

Goodmorning all,

Would like to lower my Leon with just springs. I have the LED front ligths. What about the leveling sensor? Dealer says I should install the springs and they can learn the car the new position?
Is this correct?

That may be correct, but make sure that you disconnect the linkage before fitting new springs.

Yeah the lights will need to be reset. Mine where done as part of the garage that fitted them, but they were a VAG specialist.

100% this ^. If you start removing the bolt for the shock, the control arm drops further than the sensor can support and brakes the bracket/attachment.

Just don't forget to reattach after putting it back together
