that kit looks just like my FK coilovers I got for my LC (NOT LCR)

Therefore in my opinion they are probably the wrong ones.
My set can be found here:

As you can see, your fronts look identical to mine, which means they are wrong.

Someone else with an LCR should confirm.

What are you going to do now? TBH I would want the wrong coilovers off the car and the front ARB back on ASAP.....

The bloke who fitted them said that as they didnt phone me to see what i wanted to do they will change the fronts free of charge! Just trying to get a new kit out of the suppliers but they wont take the old one back now.

I know a few people who have had this issue, try and source some kit cheaply and save a few £££ which is fine till something goes wrong.

The supplier should take the kit back assuming they supplied the wrong kit......then again you posted a link to an ebay set earlier in the thread which quite obviously wouldn't fit as they were marked Golf Mk4.....If you bought a Golf MK4 set you may be stuck with them.

Hope things work out for you

Dude, you have an Cupra - get Cupra Suspension, not LCR Suspension!

When you come to getting ARB's, get Cupra ARB's, and you'll be fine!

If they didn't supply new droplinks in the kit, maybe the original ones will fit?
I had FK silverlines on mine and they came with replacements as they needed to be shorter.
