lowering springs

[davegrayburn]

hi..looking at purchasing some lowering springs next week. anyone know what size i can reduce by safely on a leon cupra 2002..with 225/40/18 wheels.. ie...30mm..35mm..or 40mm

Mine`s an `02 on 18`s as well & is lowered 30mm on koni springs , could drop some more but looks tidy now & handles great . Did`nt wanna go too low as it`s an everyday/family car

Are lowering springs on the standard shocks ok, as long as it doesn't drop more than 40mm?

i went 30mm on standard shocks on my old leon, no problems there and they were on for 30k+

OK thanks mate

It's always best to get matched springs and shocks as it'll handle better and lowering springs do wear standard shocks quicker than what standard springs do. As said though, a lot of people just do the springs and have no problems.

Something like the Eibach pro springs are a good choice...

I'm obviously being blind this morning! I just managed to click that link in Damian's post and navigate to the Arosa springs, all without realising that Damian actually works for DPM and they're less than 15miles away from me!

I've restrained myself from modding the 'rosa untill I get a job and make some progress on my mini (constant project! ). But I wouldn't mind a few subtle mods down the line that I can hide from worr lass to enhance my driving experience! I just wanted something cheap to run around in while I'm jobhunting... but this little Seat is starting to get under my skin!

Uh oh....
