Posted 11th September, 2013 in SEAT | Leave a comment

Leingarten-based tuning company JE Design has released a range of options for the lovely SEAT Leon SC.

Created for the sportiest FR variant, the aero package is constructed from carbon-look plastic and comprises of a front spoiler, side skirts and rear skirt insert with apertures for twin-double tailpipes attached to the new stainless steel muffler. The company’s sport spring kit provides a drop of 30 mm, but owners with deeper pockets can specify a KW coilover system, which is adjustable for rebound and compression-damping and takes the hatchback down by as much as 65 mm. A range of wheel and tyre packages are also available in 18 and 19-inch diameters.

Under the hood, JE applies its own ECU software to the 2.0-litre TDI unit, which sees output rise from 135 kW (184 hp) and 380 Nm of torque to 154 kW (210 hp) and 430 Nm, meaning the 0-100 km/h is reduced from 7.5 seconds to 6.9s, while top speed remains the same at 228 km/h (142 mph).
