Leon Mk1 Cupra Coilover Help

[SNAZ85]

Ok so ive got a mk1 2001 Leon Cupra . I've just recently started to do some subtle mods to it that i've been wanting to do for ages! I've acquired myself a set of 18" BBS CH REPS on stretched 40 profile tyres and they have set the car off a treat!! Next on the list is obviously getting them rims sitting nicely in the arches!! So i've found a set of coilvers online for like 180 odd quid which look ok. However i think i'm right in saying that the 1m leons are the exact same chassis as the mk4 Golfs? Meaning that when putting the coilovers on i can only go down 40mm before the front driveshafts get in the way? I've been told that gettin an Audi TT front ARB will cure this and allow me to go down to like 60mm?? So basically what im asking is to be able to drop 60mm on coils do i need to buy a TT ARB? If so which sort? If not do i need to get the coil kit with the adjustable drop links? or just the standard kit and new ARB??

Cheers peeps

Mines dropped 50mm but not changed anything . Maybe I was just lucky , but I do recall the arb needing to be changed normally

I recently purchased the FK coilover kit for mine for £205 all in, came with shortened drop links. I'm not sure on the exact drop, but it's ALOT lower than standard was and the splitter catches everything.

I didn't need to upgrade anti-roll bars or anything for that.
