rubbish pictures but its lowered ..

[SteveTDCi]

Ok so they are not the best and the car is dirty but come the weekend i'll get some better ones up

 

[ross27]

What have you got it lowered on??

Looks nice!

 

[SteveTDCi]

its lowered on Eibach sportlines, so around a 25mm drop, it looks good but i think the rear might need some spacers on to bring it out a little. I need to get it cleaned up now

 

[BAGZ]

iv been thinking about lowering my cupra aswell, how does it drive is it realy bumpy?

 

[RobsCupra]

Does it look much lower in the flesh?

 

[Toby Davis]

looking realy good.Nice job

 

[SteveTDCi]

Does it look much lower in the flesh?

Oh yes, i'll get some side on pictures at the weekend, i have the before's but not the afters.

it drives better, it stays flatter and that annoying over servoed feeling of the brakes has gone, yes its a bit bumpier, I might look at some of the VW Racing springs, they don't give it such a low drop, possibly 20mm as opposed to 25mm of the sportlines but i think they are progressivly wound although it seems they only list them for the GOlf not Leon. Does that mean i'm not happy with them - erm not really they absorb the same amount as the standard springs if not a little better but they compress and firm up quickly if that makes sense.

I found Eibachs to be a better ride-quality over the standard setup.

Car looks good.

Im looking at getting some of theys too , What ones i need i dont know 1m or 1p or what? its a 1.6 08 plate

 

[RickyD1975]

1p for Mk2 Leon, Alex.

Looks good Steve & I look forward to some before/after shots.

 

[The Stigness]

looking good !

 

[DaveysFR]

Looks the part, hope to have my sportlines delivered today (hopefully) after two weeks of waiting . Then fit them on Saturday.

 

[Alex 17]

Mhmm 145 quid , Far too tempted , How hard are theys to fit ?

Parents dont want me to do it since it will void my warrenty? ,
And the insurance will go even worse

 

[SteveTDCi]

backs are easy, fronts are a pain. Jabba quoted £130 to fit them and I really wish I'd had paid for it before doing it myself. Ok i've saved enough to get my spoiler painted but I have bruises up both arms !!!!

 

[Alex 17]

Any idea if it made any of your warrenty void?

 

[GainfulShrimp]

Depends on the dealer, but I understand that it will only void the warranty for the springs themselves. I suppose if your springs might have caused the shocks to fail then they could refuse to cover those. But faults with unrelated bits of the car should be covered, from what I've heard/read.

 

[Cupraken]

Nice job Steve, sorry it didn't go as smoothly for you! Looks great anyway, I too thought the rears looked a bit tucked in on mine, but then I tripped over a set of 8" RS4 alloys and they fill the gaps nicely!

I found the car settled around 5-10mm after some driving too

Same springs, different wheels. The side skirts make it look that little bit lower too.

 

[SteveTDCi]

different wheels but only for the time being
