Chased up my suspension yesterday, apparently the good weather is making lots of people ordering upgrades so the normal 2 week delivery is now longer.

If you want to give or sell them there is a section on the site where you can do that (just makes sure people can see what is up for sale)
Sacrifice passengers for more beer space...Sorry to criticize you but dont worry about the batter what about the spare BEER
Looking good for the future then, I don't think I can lower mine haha bumps are too harsh already...
I will sell the original FR suspension when i have changed it. I also have original Leon 5F FR springs laying around in my garage..

check out https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?forums/parts-for-sale.318/ good place for selling and finding other stuff.
Also for suspension if you have not bought check out these guys https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?forums/dpm-performance.248/
@Jimbobcook what I would say (aint cheep) you can get coilover system that allows you to lower when you want but also adjust the dampers. But I agree going to low unless you know your local road condition is not a good choice and for me the important thing is comfort but allow me to adjust to track mode.

Yes they ain't cheap but they are worth it (well hopefully after i have bought them) and I am going to a VAG Tuner show with Jimbobcook and have some track time booked so I can test these out under pressure, as well as normal fast driving mode.
Look forward to pics of the car, how much lower are you going.

Pretty low.. 
so that wheel fits in arc nicely and might go tiny bit lower than arc in front..
But i like to drive like mad man so it needs to handle speedy cornering and stuff so not totally down earth

Very nice car, I love the white, the wheels look great and the gold is super.
Have to say I do like the rear exhaust setup it looks very mean.
Very jealous about the suspension, mine have still not arrived, Seems the German factory is busy but they will come eventually.
More pics after you have done it.

Good Idea, I am will do the same once my gear arrives. Good news for me today they confirmed that suspension will be shipped in the morning so not long now before its fitted.
Did u get your suspension set today from mail? Did u order from uk or de?
I posted pic to my friend who works in Seat garage when i started today the suspension change, i didnt have 36mm wrench key to open front axel nut, he called me and told i need to go buy new pair of nuts if i open those, there is metal clips in nut.. so i drove to local parts shop and got em to order em in for tomorrow. and bought wrench key that fit the nut.
Started shock and spring change from back then, back is changed now. Put it sitting at back on max lowering -60mm (from fr suspension of coz -45mm) so its looking good. So tomorrow getting nuts in the morning and then front apart.

No the nice guys in the Germany have now confirmed they are posting on the 5th June so I have to wait.
I know these are built to order but nothing you can do about it.

Lets see how it sits after few days of driving, might need to lift it little bit since its near TUV-limits now. Had to rise back little bit since it was below tuv-limit at first try.
Now to sauna and beer, im so tired

Wow that makes a big difference, Very impressive and I know it was a pain but you deserve more than one beer and wait till sober before driving the car to test out the new kit
Good Job
Vau, joka tekee suuren eron, Erittäin vaikuttava ja tiedän, että se oli kipu, mutta ansaitset enemmän kuin yhden olut ja odota, kunnes ajetaan autolla kokeilemaan uutta pakettia
Hyvää työtä

Thanks.
You cant change stiffness of shocks at back without taking shocks off from car.. thats kind of sucks with this set. That adjustment should have been bottom of shock and not at top. So lot of work if i want to adjust stiffness. Front is just easy peacy
Its now at 9 clicks from full hard as manual suggested, range is 0-16 clicks, tho at least rear i had 20 clicks on adjustment screw.. might change it little bit softer. My old Leon had ST Suspension ST X coilover kit (old Weitec brand, which is KW also), just height adjustable and it was smooter and i think i liked it more than this one now. So i will tune it little bit before taking it to wheel alignment. But thats for next week. My body hurts now
No pain no gain
