I am looking to buy some coilovers in the near future! I have a 55 plate Leon cupra r, looking around on ebay and few sellers are saying droplinks are required after 40 mm?

Why is that and where can you get them?

I think thats on other models not the R as they have different shocks and ARB.

On anything apart from a R you need them when lower than 40mm and even then most are useless as there longer and need to be shorter.....unless you have a uprated bar with bigger hoops.

Sure one of the R owners will know if you need them......40mm on a R is a lot.
