Lower and stiffen LCR, options:

[turbin]

I made up my mind. FSD /Eibach FTW!

Alot of great info here tho. Rising tyrepressure when tyres get extra hot on track is a good one. Isnt that why they say always measure pressure when the tyres are cold?

TBH all at the same time. You will save money as the front ARB needs the subframe dropping and after that needs the 4 wheels geometry done. This also needs done after the suspension is done. So best bet is to save the cash and buy all at once, plus you will get some discount.

Tell me about it , I bought the Neuspeed arbs with Awesome's discounted price a couple of months back, alignment done with other bits of work etc.. then they go and offer these AP coilovers at a decent price now and will need fitting and another geometry setup

Get them fitted yourself

Nooooo that is far past my mechanical meddling. I have no ramp/jack, space to work or skill to do it .
I'd rather pay someone for this job </lazy>

 

[Willie]

You have access to all the knowledge you need here, for the price of getting it fitted by someone else you can buy all the bits you need to do it yourself.
Within two jobs these tools will have paid for themselves+

does anyone have a picture of a LCR with the eibach/ koni combo?....wanna see what 20mm drop looks like....

i like the fact it will be subtle..

 

[Willie]

You'd be lucky to get 20mm, most say 10-15mm

 

[DOLBY]

dont eibach do springs that can drop 20 -25mm then?.......15mm wont be worth £500 then really?

 

[turbin]

you guys know any part nrs for the Eibach pro-kit for an -04 LCR by any chance?

 

[Willie]

Sorry bud, thopught you were meaning the FSD/Eibach.

Dunno exactly what they supply for the LCR

 

[DOLBY]

apparantly koni dont issue FSDs for the LCR now

 

[turbin]

I got the part nr. from Awsome and went to a sealer in Sweden. The exact part nr. showed a part to Skoda Octavia RSI something. And the FSD's alone are more expensive than the coilovers I'm lookin at. Also, since I'm using the car year around would be nice to rise /soften it in the winter and lower /stiffen it in the summer season...

 

[DOLBY]

so you didnt go for the eibach/koni combo then?

 

[turbin]

no. After the reconsiderations I mentioned above I find it more useful and cost effective with coilovers.

They look very nice, like the front top mount adjustment.
Are you sure the rears will work okay as our top mount design is very different to the one shown

If you scroll down the page youll find the FWD Seat Leon 225HP part nr. http://www.raidopower.se/Shop/Index.php?sArtId=ksportcoilovers

So Im guessing yes. But, I always call them to make sure before orders like this. Have received the wrong part more than a couple times from web shops

 

[Willie]

Okay, thought I would mention it anyway
