hi guys, im after retrofitting a r32 front arb, or aftermarket front arb onto leon cupra...

what i want is to have the arb fitted to the strut, as per lcr or r32..

whats needed to make this happen, obviously struts that allow the strut arb fitment, anything else, wishbones etc etc..

looking to optimise my handling further, and i gather the body roll is much improved by having uprated front arb attatched to struts instead of wishbones as per lc.


so afaik, ill need

1. lcr style suspension kit (arb mounts on strut)#
2. top mounts and bearings to suit
3. r32 front arb kit
4. droplinks for lcr

anything else, or will this go straight on lc with these mods?

cheers fellas

You cannot change your wishbones without changing the hub carrier and bearing aswell. This would also lead to a change of brakes too.
The list above will give you a very nice feeling front end and is a complete list of what you need apart from new bolts and nuts for everything as these are all stretch ones
