Nope it'll hit the engine cover anongst other things in the engine bay on a Cupra R
As Kez indicated it's the Audi S3 one you need (circa £55 from an Audi dealer)
think any added extra is a mod other that factory fitted stuff? dont the audi s3 one to make it fit some drilling involved??

Could use velcro
when i fitted a strut brace to my mg zr it had bolts there that held the top mounts in so you just had to use longer bolts on the leon it dont have them! so it was just a question! could always use sticky back plastic

Or a drill and bolts
In all seriousness there is an install guide for the strut brace for the LC on the front page of SCn
mine lower ones on but the top one is just resting on the top , havent found the right bolds or had the time / weather to sort it , , just looks good for now , and i didnt even use velcro or sticky tape
it won't be improving your handling any, but hey it looks good, right?
Well, as they are essentially a competition items and fitted as a matter of course to rally cars, etc then I suppose they do help the handling by tieing together the front end. Difficult for me to say if the strut brace alone improved the handling as I fitted a lower brace, Eibach arb's & coil overs all at the same time.... Bound to make a difference though.
Doubt ill be fitting a strut brace, but just wondering. If you fit one when the front wheels are in the air, will it make a difference as apposed to the car being on the floor with the weight on its wheels? Im thinking this because the strut brace stops movement in the strut turrets right? so take the weight off them, the turrets move out, put the brace on, they stay there, so effectively there may be some slight camber on the wheels.
Do it on the floor, with the weight on the 'road' turrets are closer, ie where your tracking was set, so camber shouldnt be affected?
Am i right? or just over thinking things?

you are correct yes
i think the main problem is if you jack up one side of the car, tighten up the brace that side; and then do they other side.. then the struts will not be held in a level position. When i fitted mine i fully tightened it after lowering the car back to the ground.Similar threads
