Hey guys!
Since my last wheel upgrade back in September the overall handling experience has been a real joy, 18-inch rims on a set of EAG F1 ASY 6's truly seemed worth the upgrade so far!
The only ''down'' side now is that it almost looks like my car is on stilts, therefore I've actively been looking into lowering it slightly. The little research I did, combined with the budget I'm currently working with is currently pointing me towards the lowering springs direction rather than going for coil-overs/air-lift route.
I own a 2017 base model Leon ST which unlike the FR/Cupra variation doesn't come lowered from the factory. Therefore I was hoping to somewhat be able to replicate that very same look, but instead on my base model. I am a sucker for aesthetics and the look of a lowered car however I also wouldn't want it to impact the driving comfort too much. After looking online for a bit the Eibach Sportline & Eibach Pro-kit seem to be reasonably priced here in Sweden, does anyone have any experience with these? The Pro-kit offers a 35/30mm drop, whereas the Sportline's offer a 45/40 drop.
Seeing as they apparently also come in 2 different variations I'm also experiencing some difficulties trying to figure out the correct one. There's 1 for individual suspension on the rear axle and then there's 1 for a rigid rear axle. How do I know which of the is the correct one for my car?
Oh and I also run standard shocks, which might unintentionally jeopardize the entire thing too, being the inexperienced ''newbie'' I am unsure on whether they might even be compatible with lowering springs to begin with. Would it perhaps be better to just aim for coil-overs instead? Any recommendations/suggestions would be highly appreciated.
