With this setup my car would definitely have problems. I do not know how much Seat Leon's have front clearance but if you have rubbing issues than I would say you have 3 options:
1. remove the TT arms
2. see if you can do something to the inside of the fender so that the clearance will increase (the mk5 has a bolt that has to be removed and that gives more clearance.
3. buy some wider fenders (I am doing this at the moment; I am buying some Kerscher fenders but they don't have any products for Seat :sad1:)
I'm afraid that by lowering the negative camber will give you only a few millimeters of extra clearance.

It's just 30' (0.5°), Alex. So a few mm.
:wink:
Mike, if you have about -2°30' of camber now just reduce it to less than -2° and raise the front ~ 10 mm.
There will be still an improvement in front grip and turn in.
:driver:
vRSAlex:
From the standard arms at normal ride height going to the tt arms with the walk kit and lowering the car added the 2 degs of caster. It went up to 9 degs 30 mins.

Going for the dual center tail pipes, or stock location?
