Best Lowering Springs for Leon Cupra R mk2

[Bruno_CupraR]

I have no problem with speed bumps ( here in Peru we have lots of speed bumps and potholes )

 

[Bruno_CupraR]

One good thing is that Cupra R has 19 inch wheels so when you put lowering springs, it is not as low as if you had 17 inch wheels for example

I had a VW Bora Mk4 1.8t before driving the cupra with Oem 17 inch wheels and H&R Race Springs. This car was very very low.

Dos anyone know what kind of sway bars has the cupra R? Or what differences are between Cupra R suspension vs Cupra and FR? I tried to buy sway bars but the seller told that this wont be an upgrade to cupra R only for FR o cupra (eibach sway bars) ?

Anyone???

It'll be the same height as any other mk2 Leon as both wheels have the same overall radius with a tyre fitted

Not all FR's have 17's. Most have 225/40/18

Ah OK, I was assuming running a 225 width throughout, to minimise speedo error

These are the pro kit is also look at the sportline also bear in mind the quoted drop is based on a std Leon if your tfsi is an fr the ride height is already lower by around 15mm this needs to be subtracted from the stated drop i.e. Pro kit states 30 (15 actual) sportline 50/40 (35/25)

My leon is normal, not fr, so ride height is normal and i want even drop. Little bit more researching and the right answer is E10-81-009-05-22.

If you want an even drop get the H&R springs, 40 mm all round on your car

Eibach are cheaper.

 

[Bruno_CupraR]

Yes...eibach are cheaper and handling is great...I have ridden H&R race on a Mk4 Bora and Eibach Sportline on my cupra. Both area great springs.

This is my cupra with eibach sportline
