Does anyone have pictures of Leon's that have spacers fitted but not been lowered.
I was going to do both but with the state of the roads I drive I reckon lowering wouldnt baba good idea.
Also with regards to spacers, apart from the obvious, what are the differences/benefits to buying more expensive spacers compared to cheaper Ebay ones?
Thanks

I don't have spacers on my SEAT, but I do on the front of my 540.

Don't go cheap Chinese or anything iffy on EBay - particularly with the extended bolts that you'll need.

I put cheap spacers on my last car when I had it, lasted me about 50k miles until I sold the car including a trip on the autobahns and to Switzerland without noticing anything. I did buy some decent bolts though to go alongside them though.

Take from that what you will. At the end of the day, they're one of the things holding the wheels on.

H&R are our best sellers but the benefits of the more expensive spacers are that they are generally made from better quality metal, the spacers tend to be lighter and more precise.

If the 20mm are too much I'm just going to stick 15mm on the rear and swap the 20mm for 10mm for the fronts.

+25mm rear, +20 front. Old images, now it's on eibach sportline, so I can't do fresh front images. I got no rubbing even with -40mm springs.
