The next job was installing the springs i found a set for a really good price second hand that came with new drop links (handy for spares)

Now this job can be a real utter pain in the arse mainly due to the design of the top mounts they contain the thread for the bolts surrounded in rubber so what happens when things get rusty over time they just seize and spin
2 came out easily less be said for the other that needed careful grinding to remove them (3- 4 hour job)

This kit is very well made the quality is right up there , the only thing i was worried about is not feeling much of a difference once fitted as the leon mk2 cupra has aluminium wishbones and solid (void-less) rear wishbone console bushes as standard
overall the handling has improved pretty well the stability under braking was the most noticeable difference im guessing due to the anti lift kit
