Which Lowering Springs?

[Cr41g87]

Looking at lowering springs for my 2019 Leon ST 1.5TSI EVO FR Black Edition, when looking at the Eibach Pro-kits it mentions for the rear "independent suspension" and "live" axle. Am I right in thinking that semi-rigid is classed as live?

If you have torsion beam on the rear then that's non-independent suspension which some call 'live' yes.

Thanks! I will double check.

Only Leon's with MORE than 150ps have independent rear suspension - so your 130 or 150 1.5 would have beam/live rear suspension.

Thanks for confirming. Much appreciated.

Tagging onto this, I have the 1.8TSI SC with the multi-link suspensions looking to get a 30mm drop with the 18" Sports Alloys.
Are they sold with 30mm all round because I cannot find Eibach or other models with a 30mm front and 35mm rear, or am I being stupid?

I’ve only found 35mm FA & 30mm RA so far for my ST

I have a set of Eibach Sportlines in the garage ready to fit to my Cupra ST once it's back from being fixed

What’s the drop on them, is it 35mm FA & 30mm RA?

Lowering front (approx.) 45 mm / Lowering rear (approx.) 35-40 mm. All Measurements are based off of non-sport models so my Cupra will be slightly less of a drop from factory height.

Any before and after pictures of your car?

Probably the best I can do on the before and after. Sorry!

That looks awesome. Is it 45 at the front and 30 rear?

Thanks! I’m happy with it. No. Had to go 35mm front 30mm back because of the tent box and clearance!
