Meguiars swirl X and srp to finish. Tip for using is just to keep it moving slowly and not keep in one place.

Did nothing to the Leon other than drive it.
The other car is stealing all the funds/time at the moment :(

However, do hope to get the Leon on Sportlines by the end of next week. See how that suits me.

Just on standard shocks? I'm so undecided whether to lower on standard shocks, lower on updated shocks or go for coilovers!

I've lasted 3 months and now gone for coilovers as want more lows. but the sportlines are very good on standard dampers

I had sport lines on my old leon and that was good, just wondering whether in the long term (I'll be keeping this for two years) I'd be better with updated shocks or coilovers rather than standard dampers.

On a car with 23k miles like mine, Im sure the standard shocks will be grand with sportlines.

I didn't get them on my old leon for the same (inversed) reason. It had 80k miles. No good.

If I ever decide to go down the tracking route I'll consider coilies.

A good shock and spring set is good but my heart lies with coilovers for the adjustable side I'd personally go coils. Just my 2 pence

That's what I'm thinking, after my car being on its arse with standard springs this weekend with all the weight in it, with lowered springs will I be able to take 5 people and a boot full of luggage? Or am I better getting coilovers so when I have a heavy load I can raise it up. My sport lines and standard shocks on the other leon were good, I just don't want to go for the se again and then wish I'd gone or coilovers or uprated dampers!
