Leon Cupra ARB Mounting

[ben1413]

Does anyone know where the ARB links mount on the Leon Cupra?

Is it to the shock or the wishbone? I'm just trying to work out the differences between the LC and the LCR.

Cheers

Ben

LCR ones linked to the shocker
The LC one is linked to the wish bone with a drop link and bolt
LCR OEM bar 18mm, LC OEM bar 23mm. The LCR one is more effective with a thinner bar than the LC with thicker

Are the wishbones interchangable?

No but you can change the turrets to give you the LCR type drop link connection and run in the LCR type front ARB.
It is possible to swap out the hub carriers, turrets, wish bones and sub frame to give you a LCR front end suspension set up

doing the same thing right now mate... lcr suspension, lcr droplinks and r32 front arb.

on a leon cupra. hopefully should make a big difference.

Thought you already had the perfect setup James!?

It definitely will if you ever consider lowering the car.

The LCR has longer hub carriers, so the wishbone angle stays at a much better position for handling.

The LC starts as " --- " and ends up like " \ _ / " after lowering. (even only 20-25mm)

The LCR starts more like " / - \ " and ends up like " ---" with approx 20mm drop.

Keeping the wishbones level helps to reduce/prevent bump steer, along with keeping the roll centre of the car down. (which is what you want for handling )
