Looking good mate, get some spacers on there and it will really enhance the lower stance, also what durameter rating are the superpro bushing?

And belated happy birthday, your nearly a 1/4 of a century!

Looking good. How much is that gonna set you back at Amd? I got a few worn bushes according to them and they wanted some ridiculous price to change them

Cheers robbie. What mm spacers do you reckon to go for? 15mm h&r's on the back? Front looks ok to me but could do with spacers on back.
P.s what does durameter rating mean? All I know is the bushes are shot and they feel like they need to be replaced. So going with the superpros as recommended.

Gav, they've quoted 403 quid for the lot but that's the full kit. steering rack, front an rear wishbone bushes, and dogbone mount although I had a powerflex one put on 4 months ago.

I put 10mm on the rear then swiftly removed them and put on 15mm rear and 10mm front and it really fills the arches out. Durometer just means there hardness i know the powerflex ones used to be hard and the DBM used to give some vibration on low RPM.

How are you finding them?

Cheers for the link

The powerflex dogbone mount has been fine. Bit of vibration early on but it's settled these days just fine. Noticed it's helped me get the power down better from standing starts.
Have you got any pics of the wheels with the spacers fitted?

Defo doing 15mm on the rear just need a pic to convince me to do the fronts.

 

[wayne lcr]

have a look at dannyc87 readers ride he got 15mm all round.

Pics of my 3/4 size front plate

Just posting a couple of pics of my recently fitted 3/4 size front plate if anyone wants to know what they look like on LCR's

Very pleased with mine, plus I get an extra 60bhp now from the extra cool air from the bigger intake area to my fmic

Got SeatCupra.net written printed on the bottom right hand-side of the plate too of course..

Haven't done the rear one because I think that would look silly

 

[SalSheikh]

Yeah I've used double sided sticky backing stuff and a 'bit' of superglue

Looks much better imo.

 

[wayne lcr]

Cheers bud. Thinking of ordering some of the headlight lense cover stuff to lightly tint them do you think I should do it?

Not got my HID's yet so hope my headlights still shine through it ok? Excuse me for not being clue'd up on the lense covers..
