Eibach Pro Line Lowering Springs - 35mm drop. £114 delivered.
Precision aluminium hub centric wheel spacers - 15mm. £69 with extended wheel bolts (no locks).

Surprised how far it's dropped. Glad I didn't go with the Sport Line springs, as I still need to drive the thing with 5 people and a dog in it.

I've used Eibach springs in the past. They're really comfortable and make the car feel sharper and more direct.

Found it difficult to take pictures that show the difference the wheel spacers have made. The stance is way better now though. much more aggressive.

I just ordered Racingline springs for my cupra

I would think they’re probably made by eibach though

Did you renew the top mounts and bearings at the same time?

Can I be cheeky and ask the eibach part number for the kit you fitted? :)

Not cheeky at all! :) E10-79-010-04-22
It's a standard TDI Leon with solid rear axle.

Check out http://www.ebaystores.co.uk/RallyShop-International if you're interested. The springs were £40 cheaper than anywhere else online.
I had the garage fit them during a service and MOT to cut the labour time down too. It needed two new front shocks anyway, but still worth trying to get stuff done at the same time.

I got the same set up just 13mm front and 16mm back wheel spacers.spring will go down a bit.
Front top mount i can hear sometime cracking noise but was same with original springs and just done 15.000mile.

Springs are already sorted and going on on Tuesday, I just wanted to check something Eibach told me :) To do with my car not yours :)

Hope it doesn’t settle too much more as I think it’s perfect.

I'm convinced that I read somewhere that Eibach springs are engineered so they don't settle like other springs do. How are you finding the ride quality? I can definitely feel the bumps more, but there's way less roll in the corners now. Also, my car looks less like a surprised cat now, so, bonus!

Ride in comfort, is honestly little different. Only when you hit a massive bump can you tell it’s harder.

Cupra mode is noticeably firm but less crashy.

But not driven it much. Only drove it home and mainly in rush hour traffic.
