Lowered cupra r's, how low you gone...?

[Colonelk]

We have HUGE speed bumps on our estate. I barely get over them as standard never mind lowered.

 

[nibbles]

heres mine with a sprinckle of lowness

 

[DOLBY]

blimey thats low dude....cool

 

[Ruddmeister]

i'm beginning to think that, maybe -50mm is slightly wiser, lol

My LCR was -15mm a still ok for 20k+ miles per annum

Depends what you have to deal with on a daily basis but at LCR at -50mm! you're joking right?

 

[Si]

I'm only -30mm and I'm going to raise it soon. Hit the deck far too many times!

Mines Lower....

I think the grass is longer your side

 

[nick_c_1986]

unsure how much mine is actually lowered by but cant physically go any lower!

I've got some other wheels but are currently getting one refurbed which have lower profile tyres which sits me an extra 5mm+ lower

its from dieselgeek

it bolts to the subrame (where the dogbone mount goes) and has feet that bolt up to the subframe either side at the front

Which Skid plate from Dieselgeek did you get? I assume this should fit the Toledo also?

 

[tom167]

One for the mk4 golf

Thanks. I assume its was a straightforward install?

BTW did you get this shipped from the US? How much for the plate plus shipping, if you don't mind disclosing?

 

[tom167]

Yeah was all quite easy, if you look at the instructions on dieselgeeks site its pretty helpful.

I think it was about £280 all in. But that was a while back when the exchange rate was still good, not sure about now.....

 

[markmck]

I know what you mean about the exchange rates !!

 

[tom167]

its not good.....


Was hoping to get a cheap ecs clutch but its more or less the same price now after shipping!

when you LCR boys are taliking about 20mm lower have you achieved this with 40mm springs n shocks. If so, i know you get 20/25mm drop from this, has this caused any one probs sump wise or is this when you start going lower, Nev LCR in particular as i will more than likely go down the route you went down, i.e springs only

 

[JamJay]

Looking at Si's car, i'd say that he is -30/35mm lower than the OEM LCR suspension (ie: -50/55mm lower than a normal LEON).

Buying -20mm springs for an LCR wouldn't lower it at all, just make it a little stiffer. For a 20mm drop then get some -40mm springs
