Pics of leon cupra R lowered

[Aubs1985]

Anyone got any photo's of a cupra r on a 50/40 mm drop? i just bought some 18' keskin kt5's and wanna lower it but i'm not a track user so only want shocks and springs but just wanna see how how it'll be on a 50/40 drop (which is the lowest i could find)

Or any other pics so i can get a ruff idea of how low to go.

Cheers.

I have lowered mine 20mm front and back. Mine looks pretty good, I couldn't go any lower as speed bumps are a real pain where I live. I will post some pics up later when I get home.

Mine's lowered about that in photo's below. It does sit a little lower at the front now however

They look sick guys thanks. I've just ordered the KW 50/40 kit. Should be here next week. Only had the car 6 months and was standard, but i've nearly done all i want to it. Got a carbon air intake, forge 007p and H.I.D. kit fitted today aswell. Black diamond combi disc's and pads allround next. I'll put the pics up next week when i've lowered it let me know what you think. Thanks again, i'm new to this site how do you get the info about yourself/car come up when you post threads??

hold on, make sure you know what you are getting with a 40/50mm kit.
that measurement is from the standard height for a leon, and is actually going to be about a 20/30mm drop for a LCR as the LCR is about 20mm lower than a stock leon.

for example, sambryant's leon has been dropped about 20mm, which represents a 40/40mm kit but is much higher than APE's leon which he says has been dropped about the same as a 40/50mm kit. - i suspect APE's has been dropped 40/50mm from the LCR height as his leon is way lower than sambryants..

or compare bakes100's to APE's they are worlds apart in terms of drop.
Bakes100 being a 50/40 drop and i would say is representative of what you would get with a 50/40mm spring/shock set up.

hope this makes sense.

Yeah I see what you mean bud, my drop is from the standard LCR height, not standard Leon height. I guess that's the easiest way of describing it

get yourself a photobucket account

www.photobucket.com

then once registered, you will see on the main screen, an upload button, which when you press it, a pop up will come up with your computer stuff on it, locate the pic you want ( my pictures ) etc then upload it
once uploaded, hover over the pic and a few links come up underneath, choose the bottom one, copy it and then paste it in a thread on here.

Ive probably made it sound really complicated and i apologise but its dead easy
