Strut Brace

it should be on their system as a inter-make part so your lcr chassis number should do! when i ordered mine the lad was about 14 and didn't have a clue!

Tepmted to do this to mine soon - is there a noticable difference once fitted?

I found the rear one in the boot made more of a difference - but I'm sure it all counts

thats the chassis number yea- bottom of the windscreen - or that is the one they used from mine!

Is there anything else I should do since im replacing the front suspension? Like mounts, links or anything?

Depends what you are replacing but if your are replacing the dampers then top mounts would be a good idea, otherwise bushes always suffer in the uk climate (winter salt etc) either plan to replace the lot or have a good look round when you get going and replace any that need it with powerflex or similar. Powerflex probably do a replacement kit

Just out of interest, do the S3 strut braces require any modifications to fit the LCR? This sounds like a good idea to me for the quoted £53 I read above

No modification, to get one end under the metal support that the bonnet lifter sits on is tricky.......get this end in first, wiggle it, push it and it should slot in

Obviously you need to drill the turrets and source your own fixings

Go the whole hog and get a decent rear anti roll bar instead IMO

Hey

Would the S3 strut brace fit a FR+ diesel???

Yes, an S3 strut brace will fit an FR+ Diesel.
Havoc, the rear ones are made by a guy called Mike at an engineering company near a member (not sure who) - if you look in the group buy section you will see his details. I think for the gb they were around £80, so I think a one off might be more (i'm sure another GB will come up in the future though).

Cheers for the reply DannyC87 can this be ordered from audi direct??

Here's the part No for the S3 brace 8L9 805 629 A.
When I ordered mine thay never asked for a chassis No.

can you get the bolts from audi aswell?

I tryed to get them from Audi but we could'nt find the right part No, It's easyier just to get them from a DIY store, look for either M10 or M12 nut's and bolts.

does anybody know were i can get a strut brace from cant seem to find any hald gud seen a cuple of shoddy ones which just dont cut it for me let me know please cheers nick oh btw its for a leon tdi mk1 1.9
