DV179 / Eibach sportlines Fitted - Pictures inside :-)

[rik_t]

Got time today to give the car a quick wash. Took some pics to show of my new Seat DV179 18" wheels and Eibach sportlines. Love the way these wider wheels fill the arches more

Please let me know your thoughts:

Is it lower at the back than the front?

Is it lower at the back than the front?

Not sure, just used Eibach sportline kit. Guess its still settling in, not even been on a week yet.

Looks great and think the LEON badge is fantastic!

Wheels are different and really suit the car - how are you finding the ride on the sportlines? I found it a massive improvement over the stock springs (if you can call them that).

Out of interest, how did you 'make' the front S badge black - I really need to do this on mine.

BTW, wiper, on rear, needs removing

Looks very nice!

What size is that front plate?

 

[rik_t]

@Damon, think its 3/4 size, didn't want too small as it just attracts being pulled over.

@Brinkz, S badge is just wrapped in gloss black wrap. I find the ride is much better, not as crashy. I guess its still settling down tho as expected the front to be lower than it is? Gonna keep the rear wiper

Is everyone else with Eibach sportline looking about same height front and back as mine, just to clarify this is a brand new Eibach Sportline kit so will it take time to settle down?

Beautiful specimin

 

[who me]

Ride hite looks about right to me pic of mine side on. Your car is looking stunning

 

[bigbadjay]

Just a quick question, as the OPs car is a prefl FR, is the stock suspension the same as the 'sport' suspension?Great news on improving ride as well as better visuals!

 

[rik_t]

Not sure about the suspension?

Very nice! the wheels go well with the car! and the leon badge is a cool touch!

The springs are fine, it's just the front arches are taller than the rear to allow for the front wheels turning. It gives the appearance that the front sits higher than the rear. You'll notice this on most cars. Obviously the rear wheels don't have to turn so the arches can sit lower.

looking nice mate!
