Car looks great. Real sleeper.

Normaly the rear is lower than the front on a standard Leon. Thats why most manufactuers lower the front more than the back. Never seen a set with 30/40 to be honest.

Maybe I got the figures the wrong way round if that's the case!!!!!

i do love them porche brakes. where was it you managed to find them? been after either brembo's or porche brakes for a while just cant find any

 

[bruceR]

Tried to get a set of decent Brembos but they were going for about £600 so had a look on the Bay and got a set of Boxster S rear calipers, carriers, hoses, discs & pads for the same price

Hello bruceR,

Wires & plug:

Have ordered 4 new LED bulbs to compliment the rest of the interior.
Will a couple more pics in morning of the light installed

Cars looking good again bud, just in regards to the springs you've used, would you recommend them? Or would it pay off more for coilovers? Looks like your car stands lovley with those springs though

Regards

 

[bruceR]

Hi Sam, cheers for the comments
As for the springs, yeah I would recommend them but if your shocks are on their way out then you may as well consider coillies, mine are ok so just went on the advice of my friendly tuner and up rated the springs

 

[Sam fr]

yeah i've been looking at various means, have just been looking at 50mm drop shocks which is a set drop. just curious to what your clearance is like though? the roads around here are terrible dont want to be scraping stuff
