Eibach launches Leon FR chassis enhancement range
German suspension legend Eibach has launched an impressive range of upgrades for the MQB chassis Seat Leon FR. Thanks to Eibach’s uniquely close relationship with the VW Group, these parts draw heavily on the firm’s enviable access to Seat’s original factory chassis data, and offer exceptional handling with excellent ride quality.
The first improvement is the Pro-Kit spring package. A set of four precision-manufactured springs, made from the same high-quality spring steel as Eibach’s F1 parts, these offer owners a welcome drop of between 25-30mm up front and 20-25mm out back. Pre-stressed to avoid sagging in later life, and then shot-peened for fine tempering, each spring is then electrostatically powder coated for long and durable service. This attention to surface preparation explains Eibach’s exemplary 5 year, unlimited mileage warranty on these parts.
Owners looking to really add finesse and control to the Seat’s handling will want to fit the front and rear Anti-Roll Kit. This kit is a great example of Eibach using its vast OEM experience to improve its aftermarket offering. Not only do both bars use the latest hollow technology to reduce mass and improve efficiency – a direct by-product of production techniques demanded by many of Eibach’s supercar manufacturing clients, but the front also features two adjustment points for fine tuning. The icing on the cake comes in the form of pre-fitted, factory ARB clamps on the front bar to allow for quick and easy fitting. Previously, this task required the old bracket to be split and re-welded around the new part. With the Eibach bar coming pre-installed this now is a job of mere minutes.
The final small - but critical - detail is the range of Pro-Spacers. These can be used to increase the Leon’s track measurement, either to improve turn-in and handling, or simply to achieve the perfect stance. They’re also a brilliant way of correcting an incorrect offset on an aftermarket wheel, too. Sizes range from 5 - 30mm per side, offering a vast array of options.
