What would be the optimal lowering for normal city driving (not to low for speed bumps, garages, steeper entrances) but would still fill the wheel arch nicely? And which lowering springs you recommend?

It's an 184ps FR.
Thanks

Commenting to keep an eye on this thread as I think my st cupra is a bit on the high side.
Would love air ride but what a cost!

Eibach prokits/sportlines depending on how low you want.. I think these are the most common ones
A lot of pics on the forum if you have a look ;)

Got an offer from a local car shop on prokits/sportlines today! Will go for one of those for sure.
Just wondering, FRs are alredy lowered (2cm?), so if I take sportlines the drop would only be 2,5 cm? Please correct me if I'm wrong?

I searched the forum for pics, no luck whatsoever.. Do you mind posting some on the springs mentioned above if you have some.
Thank you.

I think FR is 15mm lower and Cupra 25mm.

Mine's on prokits dont have a photo from the side but this is the most recent, this is lowered + spacers on 18s
Wouldnt lower without spacers, wheels look so hidden inside

Car looking superb! Really like the look with the prokits, definitely going for them, looks like ideal height for my needs. What spacers are on it and what dimension? I'm running 19" cupra black line wheels with 235 tyres and on that summer setup it's sitting pretty nice even without the spacers so I'll pick them maybe later.

Thank you for the photo and info, helped alot! Cheers
