Now there's an open ended question. Really depends on what you are looking for and how much you are willing to spend. I think Bilstein B14s are popular for handling, but not so much for comfort. I'm on the Eibach Pro-Street-S and really like them for balance of comfort vs handling. I almost went for the KW V1 (which go up to V3 for complete customisation).

Trouble is, you buy coilovers that are adjustable and tend to only ever adjust them once. So if on a budget, maybe some Bilstein B8s with some prokit springs for comfort or sportline springs for handling.

The AP kit is a popular option for the Leon and if you were happy with them on the Mini it's a safe option.

Were you wanting just height adjustable?

Top mounts and bearings are always worth while changing whilst the suspension is off.

Damian @ DPM Performance
