Hello,

Currently running JR wheels 19x8x35 and i am plannig to use some lowering springs - eibach sportline, any idea if it will rub the fenders with those rims?
Thanks.

Depending on the drop of the springs I wouldn’t have thought so. I’m also on 19’s with 35 profile tyres and coil overs and my wheels down rub. Mudflaps however. A lot. But that’s a separate issue

do you get any rubbin on the fenders at all?

Nope absolutely no rubbing on arches or anything. It looks super close. Honestly the fitment is absolutely spot on with mine. Don’t think I could’ve got it any better. Currently driving around with about 200kg of tools in my boot and the rear doesn’t rub either even fully loaded. Like I said just my mud flap, the one you can see in the top image. That scrapes on everything that isn’t a pebble at the moment. But just that one so I think it’s just my suspension set up needs adjustment. With lowering springs you’d be fine

how much have you lowered yours with the coils? from what i read the eibach sportline will lower mine further with 15 mm - it's a seat leon cupra 300 st 4drive

I’m not entirely sure. Mines only an FR diesel so I’d say it’s dropped by at least 30mm? I’ve just eyeballed it and got the arch gap as consistent as possible around the entire wheel. They’re only a cheap set of coilovers so not the greatest. 15mm in a cupra should be sufficient enough tho I’d have thought, not sure what difference in ride height they have over the FR stock?

i think they are lowered than the FR stock but not entirely sure as well.

Yeah I figure they would be. Found another forum asking similar question might be helpful.

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...

in that case there is a 3.7 mm difference between mine and yours in terms of how much it's poking out, i hope those 3.7 mm will not cause any issue

As yours poke out 3.7mm more? Shouldn’t be an issue j wouldn’t have thought. Have you used the will they fit website to check against your current set up? That’s how I got my fitment

Yep I am using this site and from there I got the info about the 3.7mm. I am currently running with those rims 19x8x35

Yeah I’m not sure now. Just had a look at mine and the rim is in line with outer arch

Don’t mine the halford ice scraper. Just to show the alignment of it.

According to Willthey fit it's the still 3.7 mm difference so I hope there will be no rubbing at all
