Hello!

I was wondering if any of you have some pictures to share on your Leon Cupra ST 4drive (DCC dampers) with lowering springs ? :)
Im looking to get some H&R or Eibach lowering springs that will lower the car around 15mm.

Picture on the car with standard height. Post a couple of pics on your car with H&R or Eibach.

Car Length In Front
Eibach Sportlines, ET50 with 10mm spaders at front, so effective ET40 (so 5mm more poke than your ET45 R ST rims at the front and 5mm less at the rear). Running -2.5° front camber, -2.0° rear camber,

If I'm 100% honest, for UK roads, the front could of been a little higher for me, not that I ever caught the splitter, just more for hitting the bump stops.

Only Eibach Sportlines are available for the Cupra 4Drive chassis, and they lower more than the claimed 25mm, its more like what the sportlines claim for the FWD car, 35mm. Eibach says this is because the 4drive sits lower as standard (which is not true).

I also ran fixed camber plates at the front (gave approx -2.5° at the front) and had the rear set to the same as the R:

Weirdly in my older years I agree. The front does sit a little low. Shame they don't do a pro line for the ST.
Still can't beat eibach for quality though, gone off h and r a bit.
Would like mine a bit lower

I've gone for the eibachs. Hopefully they're dcc friendly!?
How much are the Std shocks to replace?
Yeah they are made for DCC Chassi and many cars in Sweden runs with H&R. They have the same drop as Eibach but a little bit harder.
Don't know how much a std shock cost, but if I would replace them I would but the KW Dcc shocks.
