New sports suspension?

[JayFR150]

hello, ive got an 05 fr tdi and i want to lower it, whats the best kit to buy for the leon that will lower it nicely and wont make the car feel like a toolbox. i want to fit 18's so i dont know if that effects the drop u can put on it

few pics

This is how mine sits on 18s with the H&R Cup Kit.

what about just springs then , the suspension seems stiff as it is , some other cars like corsas were bouncy with just springs

please advise

cheers

i wouldn't bother with the springs, i had this done on my previous car and the ride was soo harsh, dont know if it was just the make of springs i had (g max, very cheap) and they hardly lowered the car at all

I`ve got an `02 cupra lowered approx 30mm on koni`s , it`s not totally slammed but looks good & handles a lot better

flares , have u got koni springs or full kit,

as said some std suspension is sh1te and make the ride bouncy done my m8's old corsa and it was teribble ,
but this setup on my cupra is nice and firm , just sits a little too high , so wanted to drop a bit with out making even stiffer or bouncier etc

I`ve just got koni springs , a little bouncy on rough roads but the handling is a lot better . I found awesome GTI the cheapest when I bought mine

ive gone ahead and got some weitec shocks from AMD and the conering has improved and a small drop but im hoping after the shocks have settled abit more it will drop some more.
