i've got a nice shiny polished forge strut brace on my cupra petrol...had it on for abotu a year now, did feel better on the initial turn in, but i did a track day on december last year and it felt very responsive and handled well....even kicked the rear inside tyre in the air round the tight corners. reckon it will be better when i eventually sort myself out and get some coilovers fitted

i recently fitted my Seat Sport strut brace and it made a big difference on my FR TDi. A lot less understeer going into bends and around roundabouts, can now feel it grip into the turns (you can even ask my gf who was pretty amazed at what difference it made)

However, the FR's do have slightly higher and softer suspension compared to CUPRA's so don't really know about the impact on them.

RichieRich > you wouldn't feel much on your Leon due to it being overall heavier and more grippy naturally (i have noticed this with my cousins Leon FR)

Got mine all of two days ago, fitted it that day and promptly went out and threw the car round a few roundabouts. A bit less roll, and less understeer straightening up.
