59 leon lowering and 18" wheels

I think it's because of the width of the wheel. The BBS are 8J wide and the originals 7.5J.
Wider wheels have to stick out a litte more, lower ET value, to clear the springs and stuff.
Not a 100% sure about that though.

Mine settled a bit more after the picture. Time of picture was about 40km after the lowering was done.
I then went on holiday with 4 people and a lot of luggage .

Springs used by Seat Netherlands are from Apex.
There are better brands out there but the leasingcompany limited me to this brand.
If I had to pay for them I would have gone for the H&R 45mm. Just a little lower than mine and the ride is actually beter

Yeah, that would make sense. I'm thinking of going for the eibach 30mm pro springs as they won't lower the car too much and im told they should give nice smooth ride.
