I really like them great colour on the yellow Leon.
I was in two minds myself when I got my RS6's kind of wish I had risked it and been different and gone for those now!

Mind you I still might come time for New tyres it may be cheaper to sell these and buy another new set.

Down side is mine came with Marshal tyres and they are awfull!

I dont mind too much as around my way there are hardly any modified Leons, definately none my colour and I havnt seen another with Rs6's on so its still a bit unique, just not if I go further afield!

i must admit i like to be different like i said so i do have one of the only leons around especially the 130 but when its tuned and had a few trick bits put on it it will be unique!i wanted an aftermarket kit but i am so in love with the cupra r i cant not get one

Didn't notice any difference at all, handling etc seems the same. with my last wheels (Azev a's) i did notice as i think they were quite heavy.



Yeah its been lowered on koni shocks and ebach springs... i think lol. cant quite remember what went on :D

I've got Koni FSDs but really really regret not going for Eibach springs :( can't afford to pay the labour charges again :cry: as I fancy going to 18s, but not with it looking like it's on stilts

its 35mm i think, its the koni sport kit. bought it second hand off my mate when he sold his leon cupra. But he got it from Awesome GTI


Look fantastic mate. Did the wheels come in that colour when you bought them or did you have to send them off to be anthracited?

cheers

They came that way, i did have to wait for them to come into stock, as they had said that this colour hadn't been to popular so far??? plus they were exactly the same cost as the normal silver finish... bonus :happy:

How much did it cost to have the suspension fitted?

Love the wheels

Nothing really... maybe a couple of beers. my best mate was trading his in, so as we work at a garage, he swapped it over so i had the koni's and he had the standard back on from mine. i gave him £200 quid i think from memory for the suspension... :D

So you fitted them yourselves? As I want the Eibach springs, but can't afford another big labour charge to get them fitted.

Sounds very similar to me... Need to see

A) if i can find a mechanic friend

B) Do they need any server work doing ;)

My other halfs uncle runs a garage so I may have a word with him..
