Thank you. I think I'll give them a god myself once I've sorted out a front bumper.

The car looks great as its sitting. Are they wound all the way down in your pics?

at the back the cups and adjusters are out and the front is down until it clears the arb, but once i get it took out and notched it will be going down full..

 

[EB-80]

Thanks again man. I've got some on the way.

looks pretty awesome with those wheels, personally thou either drop the front down a bit more if you can or raise the back up a touch, sits a little to low on the back compared to the front

height adjusted today.. looked great last night when i got the alloys on, but today i stood back and scratched my head for a while then attacked the front coilovers with wd40 and copper-grease.. The tyres are clearing the wings and no more! 235/35/19 tyres are currently on the car, im going for 215/35/19's once i get the money gathered up, then more lows

how it sits now -

How does it feel to drive on with the 19" wheels

I think for a standard leon, it looks really nice, just dropped n rims, I like it mate, super clean as well what do you use as polish?

Brilliant , no power difference that I have noticed even though people told me the car would feel much slower. The wheels themselves are straight as a die balanced very well. Very nice to drive on long journeys, only thing i would change is the tyre width from 235 to 215 so i can go a tad lower. The ARB was rubbing the driveshaft when i had the bora sports on, now with the 19's and lowered 15mm more its not rubbing it

Some folk say 19" alloys on a leon look to big but i think they fill the arches nicely.

Thanks, its polished with turtle wax red polish and waxed with meguiars carnauba wax. It could be doing with a machine polish, awaiting my new Dodo Juice buffer then il give the car a once over before the snow comes!
