Lowering New Leon Advice

[guyb]

Evening all,

After seeing Dans lowered New Leon, I am jealous! As I have the same wheels but am still looking like a 4x4!

If I decide to lower it, is it best to go for a whole suspension replacement (springs and shocks) bearing in mind its on sports shocks at the moment?

Im assuming this voids my warranty

yes and yes

although if you did a suttle lower you could get away with springs. but then they wont be 'matched'.

up to you

i would just do springs for it, as if you already have sports shocks they are pretty much brand new

I only went for the springs, didnt see why i needed the shocks as well. People say itwill reduce the life of the dampers, but im sure its still good for years. Might get new ones one day.

As far as i know it only voids the warranty of parts that are directly related, ie if any part of suspension goes and can be blamed by the new springs then its my fault. never know i my be talking talking bollocks, hope not though!!

As far as handling is concered, im inclined to saw theres no difference. maybe less bumpy??

On the international SEAT site they list a 'sport suspension spring kit'. I don't know whether it will be available here but if so it can be fitted without affecting your warranty.

If it is like the Ibiza kit which used to be available they are Eibach springs anyway.

The same site also lists an MPM engine performance kit. I bet that won't make it into this country!
