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

[c6hut]

Got my cupra r recently, and its already been lowered about 20mm on eibach springs and dampers on 19's. Want it a bit lower, especially at the back. Wondering what you guys are using, and any pics if possible.

cheers

i think the most that is recommended for a LCR is 20mm max...

of course you can go lower, but the car is low anyway....

if you dont value your sump, drop it more....when i finally lower mine it will be circa 20mm and NO lower......

get some decent arbs, spacers on rear, alignment and decent rubber and your laughing

bag of cement in the back should do it mate.

 

[DOLBY]

c6hut,
how are you finding the ride comfort on your set up?
me personally dont fancy coilovers ,wanna go the spring and damper route....

 

[c6hut]

The car rides well at the moment, a lot better than my slammed mk4, but merely for looks want it a tad lower. Probably never happy..you know how it is.....

 

[DOLBY]

mate your car looks perfect...exactly how i want mine to look.....

the golf looks horny...

wish i could get my leon that low

I reckon mine is about 30-35mm.... I've lost the eye brows since the pic thou.

 

[Nev_LCR]

Si, you make it sound like you might get slated for having those eye brows on.

si ->

niice! that's how i'd like mine to look, but with the wheels spaced out a bit. is that with coilovers?

thats the problem i'm having lol.

i'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of my dieselgeek skid plate as we speak!

 

[probee]

hehe, i look at it as a weight saving bonus the more i drive the quicker it gets..

 

[tom167]

haha i like the theory, altho i might be taking it a bit too far if i remove all the oil from my sump lol?

 

[probee]

lol that is a worry..... i always get a bit scared when i realise the splitter is no where near the lowest part of the car.

 

[tom167]

you should try mine, i thought tractors were supposed to have good ground clearance lol

i'd like to know too

oh and probee....

 

[tom167]

i changed top mount bushes and bearings when i did mine, and you'll need a new anti-roll bar if your playing on going lower than 45mm.
