Hello again, so I have a question regardless eibach springs...
My car is a seat leon mk2 tdi 1.9 engine.I have many doubts about what to choose prokit or sportline.Right now I have stock suspension with 17's alloy wheels( borbet lv5 ) and i want to put some eibach springs to lower it down...I want a decent drop and I really don't know what to choose.
I have a strange question related to sportlines springs...why does it have a big drop of 45-50 mm on the front and 35 mm on the rear? ( the back of the car seems to high compare to the front)
I have read in many comments like ,, i have a drop with sportline of 50mm rear and 35 front":confused:...how do you manage that? my first thought was that he just swap the springs and put the front spring to back and back to front...:blink:
Sorry for my bad english, but i'm not from England...i hope you understand what i have said.:)

50 mm is for the front and 35 for the rear. The springs won't fit the other way round. It's like this is to give the car a nice stance. Check out my readers ride. I'm lowered on sportines and love them
