Check the JOM kits from DPM. They start pretty cheap

They were mention in a recent thread

There you go http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=371855

 

[benrace91]

you got the link by any chance so i know there the right ones please?

 

[Adman77]

It's in that thread bro!

well a decent set lowering springs is £160 so you won't get much in the way of choice or quality at that money
Tyres and suspension two most important bits of your car don't scrimp on either unless you want to end up in a ditch

Heard some fit budget JOM coilovers but no idea if they are any good

 

[benrace91]

cheers, decent bit of kit for a nice cheap price! good reviews too by the looks of it! would it improve handling?

If your going for coilovers then yeah. Buying from a respected forum sponsor or a random eBay seller is a no brainer

thats definitely swung my mind aswell! i want the warranty on any item i buy, and they have 2 years! Flea bay is okay for some things i guess! but not when you want to slam a ride in style!

Thanks again mate

What shocks and springs do you offer?

My requirements are the same as probably 75% of forum users-

hopefully we can find a permanent solution for everyone

lower ride height 30mm-50mm
improvement on ride quality vs oem harsh ride
long lasting and doesnt wear out other components faster
Long/lifetime warranty

Personally i think the handling on my tsi sport (my11) is very good and with good tyres can inspire confidence, so cornering capability improvement isnt a must, but will probably happen as a result of lowering and upgrading. JUST NOT STIFFER!!!

If all else fails ill opt for a used set of facelift FR/cupra/R suspension, as my suspension is the same as pre-fl FR which is notouriously crashy/rough/stilts

Afternoon,

All springs and shocks kits for the Leon 1P can be found here - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/leo...1.html?zenid=aff6cd6cbb674a242b93fbf3056d5e75

Something like the Bilstein B12 and Weitec by KW kits are both very good options in terms 0f build and ride quality.

So how come the eibach lowering springs are so popular and there's no shocks to match them?

 

[DamianPM]

Eibach now use Bilstein shocks.

I have FK coilovers and I'm changing to JOM very soon.

 

[Adman77]

Oh I see, thanks. And what difference will I actually see/feel for having the bilstein kit over the popular, spring only, eibach sport lines?
