DO THE SUSPENSION! You been talking about it for far too long!

I mean when i said do it, i thought you instantly would have known what it was?

 

[RikH]

no, cos i was asking whether to go with eibachs or H&R, do it isnt a legitamate answer.
haha

assume with H&R id need the "up to" 980kg kit

trying to find places that stock them, but only europerformance so far apart from H&R direct

 

[jonjay]

haha

ummm

This is what you need assuming you go for H&R:
HR-31-017-2 Models over 980kg front axle weight.

On ebay with that same part number they are £300 quid - i dunno if they are different or whatever. Maybe contact them and see as the picture

mine lowered 35mm as I said before.

 

[jonjay]

Oh and as for whether to go for Eibachs or H&R. Both amazing kits...i been in both...best way is for you to come down and see what they are like in my car when you are ready.

 

[RikH]

i thought the over 980kg (same kit as yours) was for the diesels. Maybe its not though as the H&R range applies to ALL leons doesnt it, so 1.4's and 1.6's will be under 980kg.

Looking at either H&R or eibach and koni fsd (daft to say i had eibach springs i never fitted)

This is my opinion and from what I been told so dont take it as be all and end all.

I have heard that Koni FSD after a while get "floaty". I have also been told by numerous respected tuners on here that they are not as good quality as H&R. Also with the KoniFSD your "only" going to get a 20mm drop.

 

[RikH]

cheers mate

i dont really want a drastic drop as i use the car daily, do a fair few miles and have a large blueflame exhuast running under there too!

had a price from awesome for the cup kit, but ive found it cheaper online. same with the H&R arbs as well, cheaper online. Quoted about 370 to fit the lot with 4 wheel alignment done as well

Are you running HIDs?

Very nice motor. After getting my house I'll be on the hunt for some LCR 18" wheels and a PC polisher kiet etc.

HID's on

Hi mate, very superb pics. can I ask where you got the H7 bulbs Xenon and what is the name, or have you had a HID conversion fitted.

 

[RikH]

your located very near me i recall........

i got the HID kit from someone on this forum, and me and beezasport fitted the kit a few months ago. You need a kit which is bulbs and ballasts, you can DIY fit them, there are guides on the site.
