She is indeed! Lowered on eibach Sportline springs and I’ve just ordered 15mm spacers front and back to film the arches
Hi, I've got the same springs, 15mm rubs at the front, as does 10mm just about (under really heavy dips), even with the little winglets removed. 10mm rubs a little at the back but would be fine if you remove those little winglets.

As for the winglets, no one had determined what they are for, however I have noticed they sit over the end of the metal panel. Its rounded off but could still damage a tyre.

People like you make me sick!! I’m now gonna have to purchase springs. I thought my colour was amazing when clean but something about clean black paint ( for ten mins) that looks awesome

I did have 25mm on the back (very) briefly and nearly ripped a tyre off over the kerb at the end of my drive... so I’m not sure what to do currently

Honestly, in eco/comfort mode I don’t notice any difference whatsoever. It’s still comfy and perfect for cruising.

But in a Cupra mode when giving it some welly it’s much stiffer, much less bodyroll and less crashy. Combined with an 034 Motorsport Dogbone and some good rubber, it’s given me a lot more confidence in the bends. But at the cost of being maybe 20% harsher than standard Cupra mode. Well worth it in my opinion.

Lowered with a res delete is how the Cupra should’ve always been...

Are you running 19s?? And rear tabs on arches

Yes and yes, I would of removed them, however ended up moving my rear 10mm spacers to the front. I do plan on getting some 5mm for the rear, just not got around to it. With 5mm shouldn't need to remove the tabs.

I removed the tabs at the front in hope 15mm spacers wouldn't rub. But sadly they still rub at 10mm and without them.

No problem!

I couldn’t recommend the Sportlines enough to be honest, had them on my A3 Saloon as well and brilliant!

Good price, perfect ride height and no comfort compromise!

Sneaky wee phot of my A3 on Eibach Sportlines...

Paulo16. Thanks.
JCM27 yes Cades Shift in 8 by 18 et 45 shod in Goodyear F1 Asy 5 tyres. These wheels give a nice poke compared to the 7 by 17 et 49 standard wheels that were fitted.
