difference in Lc and LCR suspension

[Moffat]

Do the LC's and LCR's have the same suspension or not. I was just randomly searching for things on ebay today, and ended up looking for coilovers. i saa some from the same company/seller, but one for LC and one for LCR. Are they different?

Yes they are different

the lcr has the arb mounted on the strut apposed to the lc that has it on the wishbone

Ah right. something new i've learnt today. cheers

the LCR also has a lower strut brace, - although you can fit these to the LC also and they are fairly cheap... cant remember if they are 12, 20 or 22 quid...

You can fit the LCR suspention kit on the LC, i have, you will then have the option of fitting the R32 front ARB at alater date, again something i have done, the only difference is the drop and the spring rate, you can even fit the oe LCR suspention on the LC.

it's an LCR i have. I just needed to know if any Leon kit would do for when i order some coilovers, or if i HAD to have an LCR kit. Obviously i know now that i do.

Anything listed for the front of the 225TT and MK4 R32 should work on the front. Rear LCR is plain-jane Mk4 Golf platform (not 225TT / R32)

Hi guys sorry to dig up an old thread !!

Been searching to find an answer. I just got OEM LCR shocks and springs all round. Its a LC AUQ l have and its on fecked coilovers.

So does the std LCR setup just bolt on to the LC ??

I was told l ma have to chop the tab for the ARB mounts on the LCR setup ??

Im really hoping its just plug n play !!

Cheers guys

don't need to chop it off just leave it not in use

 

[bree9482]

don't need to chop it off just leave it not in use

Does that mean l can use the front struts and they will fit straight on without any other modificatios ??

Have you experienced this or is this just your opinion ??

I have already paid someone for these LCR shocks and spring and then after reading on here about how they probibaly wont work i have contacted the person to ask for a refund !!

If they will work then i want them, but i really need to be sure they are just gonna drop in !!

Sorry if l sound cheeky, l have just ha the worst luck with this car !
