Now given that the Leon rear end is basically a mk4 Golf then ami right in presuming that a mk4 Golf rear strut will fit?

yeah, i reckon. combined with the S3 front one it's much better than standard.
it's quick release too, and you can even hang shopping from it (according to the gf

I've considered useing one of these for the upper rear turret mounts, seeing as the leon is golf mk4 based, it should fit, not QD as the leon one is, but it probably could be made to be, with a little ingenuity...

But i've used the omp integra front one on the lower rear mounts, as Robdon has, it was a bit of a b***er to fit but it certainly stiffens things up a bit.
I got it from (Moffmeister favorite trader
) strutbracer on fleebay for £45.00, although i didn't get any grief over getting it.. luckily.

If you go for the £30 (cheap) golf turbo one, let us know how you get on, fitting it.....
I was going to get one, but was a bit unsure of whether it was gona fit or not, i mean it should in theory, leon being golf floor pan at all that...
Should be an improvement, over having nothing the teg one i have, certainly stopped therear creaking and groaning quite so much as before it was fitted.

but the question i have now is where the adjustment is does it come apart as i have boot outfit fitted so would need to thread it through there.
In fact thinking about it it might not work as it might encroach on my sub

the lower one (integra) there is a gap of 12cm from the back of the seats and 7cm off the floor.
There are some slotted holes already in the side rail on the car and you need to drill some lower ones for the second mount.
Looks like Robdons site is awol, so can't post a pick, but mine can be found on the link i put in t'other post
