I don't think they make one for the MK2 Leon, plus you shouldn't really need one anyway - if you look under the bonnet of the car, you'll see that the car has actually been designed and engineered very good, unlike most cars, they've (Seat) used the bulk head as part of the strut to stop twisting/movement, theres not alot of room under there for one to go!

Thats why you probably find the car handles so well!

 

[Rampage]

Do you mean that the bulkhead is forward more than on other cars? So it's between the struts?

I have ordered front engine bay strut brace... I think so that rear strut brace wont / could not fit to Cupra, cause MKV Golf boot is different....

Maybe this helps...

There is also one other manufacturer who can offer Brace solutions for MKV/Leon?....

This rear subframe brace is part of the new stern line of performance products for the Audi and VW vehicles. This bar installs on the rear subframe and improves the stiffness by triangulating the rear suspension control arms to the subframe. This improvement can be felt with more crisp steering response, more secure handling through corners, and better response when combined with larger aftermarket anti-roll bars.

This bar is a direct fit and requires no drilling or other modifications to the subframe. It provides great clearances with aftermarket anti-roll bars and aftermarket exhaust systems. Comes complete with all necessary hardware, and a great satin black powder coated finish for durability.

Features:

* Improves handling & steering response
* Reduces chassis/subframe flex
* Powder coated for durability
* Quick & Easy installation

I dont think a front one would fit. Plus I think there is zero benefit. The chassis is already very stiff.

Yes the chassis is very stiff already, but I'm not gonna buy that strut for the daily driving in fact for the hard core cornering.... We will see that soon...

 

[DanGB]

if you want hard core cornering get some stiff ARB's and some KW V3's

I have already H&R strongest ARB:s front/rear and H&R Coilover suspension system installed to cupra...

 

[DanGB]

Yes I have the H&R's too, think they might be too stiff lol

LOL Nooo there is not a word "too stiff" when having conversations about driving a Car as hard its a possible
