The standard suspension is
coilovers so is it worth upgrading or is it just as good.
I'm going to get the KN plug and play
coilovers anyway lol

Not quite sure what you’re asking here.
Most standard car suspension these days is in fact
coilovers. All
coilover means is the spring fits around the dampener. As it happens on the
Cupra, the front is a
coilover setup, the rear the spring and dampener setup are separate.
Coilovers in the ‘modification’ sense that your referring to is the ability to adjust 1 or more aspects of the suspension. Usually height combined with different levels of adjustability of the dampening, bound rebound, etc.
To answer the question of whether it is worth upgrading, you’d have to ask someone who has done it. In my experience on other cars, adjustable coliover suspension is better than just springs. But I couldn’t say in the Leon’s case personally as it has DCC. A
lowering spring with DCC may offer a better compromise than
coilovers without DCC.
Personally I’ll be saving to get the KW DCC setup, in the end, but I maybe persuaded to get eibach
lowering springs in the shorter term. I like the ability to swap between different dampening settings, so adjustable
coilovers without the plug in DCC function will not be an option.
However if you’re only using the car on the track, the non DCC adjustable
coilover suspension will likely be better, as it will be lighter and more track focused.
You pay your money you take your chances.
As for KW Vs Bilstein, these days I’d say KW are just as good as Bilstein. 15 years ago I wouldn’t of said that.
