I can't comment on the spring / shock setup but my Bilstein PSS10 coilovers are amazing.

Very civilised and comfy but still great handling on the softer settings and easily adjustable for Trackdays etc

I was looking at the b14 coilover set up, do you have any idea what these are like ? I know bilstiens are Good no matter what :)

I assume the B14 are a less or non adjustable version of the B16?

There's definately be a mix of suspension setups on this forum hopefully some more folk will be along to give their opinion

I think @monte has had both spring/damper & coilover setups.

Can anyone tell me if these would fit the mk2 leon cupra as there are so many different types but i thought should be all the same set up ?

Haven't posted for while as haven't had much time to take any decent pictures of the recent mods to be done. I have finally fitted the triple R front splitter and I love it. I have de-badge the rear cupra badge and replaced it with the mk3 leon cupra badge. Hope you all like.

Hello All! I have not posted anything up for a while as have been busy with work, but i have in the mean time done some subtle changes to the Leon :)

First all of all i was looking to get the car a little but in which i couldn't do with the suspension kit that i had on the Leon already, so i ended up going down the coilover route. Here are some pictures of the processes of the coilover fitting.




Once the coilovers where all fitted and set-up I then brought a little more styling mods to give to the Leon ;) hope you all like the way how it looks now as much as i do :D




Will be getting some better pictures soon :)

Nice looking machine!  :happy2:

Love those wheels, but is there any rubbing?

Cheers pal! On the rear you do get rubbing with heavy load in the back. But as expected i knew i would get some rubbing, but i will be having the arches rolled soon.

Haven't really done much to the car since my last post apart from changing the air filter for a much larger one and repainting the calipers. Couple of pictures after a good clean :)
