will my LC sit roughly the same as an LCR with LCR wheels?

[CupraString]

Im just about to buy some Cupra R Wheels and Im wondering will my Leon Cupra sit roughly the same as a Leon Cupra R as im not looking at lowering my car. I really don't want my car to look like its on stilts so was wondering if anyone has done this or has picures without it being lowered. Thanks

As far as i know the LCR's are slightly lower than the Cupra's from the factory.

99% sure he's right.

Thought they looked slightly lower do we think if I put LCR wheels on it will look out of place?

 

[mrwookie]

Don't think it would look to bad but with the LCR splitter it makes it look a lot lower. You also get that feeling everytime you ground out..........

Here's a pic of my Cupra with LCR wheels. I think it sits fine.

i think the lc is 10mm higher than the lcr with standard springs

It looks fine to me...depends how low rider you like it!

Lowering springs aren't that expensive for the Cupra's are they?

The LCR wheels will look fine as they were fitted to the FR+. Set of Eibach springs for 185quid lowered mine 35mm - looks sooo much better

FR+ has 17" 'LCR style' wheels though..

Yes, but the overall size of the wheel and tyre combination is the same on both cars.

Thanks for the photos and advice guys will be buying some LCR wheels very soon

how did you find the ride with them springs?? thinking of springs but not sure if coilovers will be better?? but then again the standad shocks on the LC will be better than the cheap coilovers so hard decision really

I have a set of p1 springs on mine , sits 50mm lower on standard shocks. ride is alittle harder which is expected as you have compressed the shocks. think your local to me so if you want a test run give me a shout.

Mine being diesel, I didn't want the knocking or scraping some folk talk of, so 35mm down is just perfect.
The firmness of the ride took a bit gettin use to, but you soon become use to it. Jim at Star Performance said my dampers were still in as new condition hence I only went for springs.
