Completely agree, facelift have such a better interior opposed to the plastic over kill on the pre facelift :worried:

The FR Leons seem popular this month :p I bought mine last week and its also a 2012 in Candy white

My car looks the same as yours and I have similar plans, any ideas on what springs you are going for? I just fitted a set of 18" CH's in gunmetal but it really needs lowered now

Well January is always a good month to buy a car as far as prices go, it seems like Eibach sportline would be the best choice to lower the car a nice amount without being too low and apparaently they dont affect the comfort from what people say

I've my Leon on KW's, springs just don't lower them enough unfortunately as they are extremely high from standard :worried:

Unless you want the car very low to the ground I think the eibach sportlines look perfect

Here is an example of sportlines fitted:

Black wheels make it look lower ... but yea for an everyday car eibachs do the job. Just sat too high for my liking still.

I understand what you mean and with coilovers you can have the car sitting perfect!

I have had various sets of coilovers over the years and just put a set of HSD's on the track car but for a daily driver and without spending a fortune, the above option has the car sitting well, doesnt cost a lot for the springs and apparantly the stock comfort is kept

What are the KW's like comfort wise? They are a coilover that I have never tried

Got the plate on the other week and it gave it a coat of Poorboys wax lastnight. Eibach Sportline springs ordered yesterday, hoping to have them by the weekend
