Eibach Sportline Lowering Springs for Cupra Leon & VW Golf Mk8 GTI/GTD/Clubsport
Give your Cupra Leon or Golf Mk8 GTI/GTD/Clubsport a sharper, more focused feel with Eibach Sportline lowering springs. This kit lowers the car’s centre of gravity, helping it sit flatter through corners and feel more stable at speed, without making it harsh for daily driving.
Sportline springs use a carefully tuned spring rate to reduce body roll and nose-dive under braking, so the car feels more responsive and predictable. Grip and confidence improve, especially on twisty roads, while still keeping ride comfort at a sensible level for everyday use.
Key benefits
- Lower stance for a sportier, more purposeful look
- Flatter cornering and more direct steering response
- Improved stability under braking and acceleration
- Balanced for fast road use while remaining daily-drivable
Important: Designed for 2WD cars without self-levelling suspension and with independent rear suspension. Heavily optioned cars (for example with tow bar or glass roof) may need different OEM rear rubber spring pads as outlined in the vehicle documents.
