LCR ARBs

[Gubien]

Hi there,

Is there such thing as "THE" best arbs for the LCR? I was initially looking for some 25/25mm from H&R, but was told they dont do any for the LCR? WTF?

Side note, what about the handling? Is it massively improoved? And how will the TCS handle the new arbs? I've read story about sudden kick-inn of the TCS which apparently scared the **** out of the driver!.. LOL

Best regards,

With out a doubt one of the best handling mods I have done , the rear makes a massive difference , neuspeed are a good make , I have the white line 24mm adjustable so 28mm rear and neuspeed 25mm front , zero problems with traction control , never have it on any way

H&R 25mm/25mm kit is a great option for the LCR and makes a massive difference, the front bar is also adjustable so you can tweak to suit - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/hr-...ll-barsbr-leon-1m-cupra-r-18t-1199-p-300.html

If you never have the TCS on it could explain why you dont have the problem ...

Its a bit confusing when H&R dont list them for the LCR on their own website?

 

[Gubien]

Have anyone tried the Eibach 22/25?

No problem with the front but the rear will catch the exhaust when the suspension travels.

Why's that? And does it still do that with an aftermarket BF exhaust?

Its how the bar is designed.Its great for most Vag group cars on the Golf mk 4 platform except for the LCR. Don't know if there is an LCR specific bar from Eibach now, but i had issues with the exhaust(Blueflame) with the one i had

They do make them for the LCR bud as thats what i've got on mine, front and rear. The only negative i can say about the H&R rear is that it knocks on the back box when there's a couple of people in the back.

I've got the 23mm mk4 golf R32 front arb and a 25mm Neuspeed rear arb set to stiffest. As Dan (murdered LCR) said the rear makes a big difference, definately up there with the best mods you can do. I've also got a set of Weitec Hicon GT coilovers and I love the way it handles.

Does an aftermarket backbox not solve that problem though?

 

[Gubien]

Ahhh....I really have enough excitement in my life for now. )
Is it correct that the neuspeed doesnt knocks?

 

[RDS]

The neuspeed doesnt knock, I dont think the whiteline does either. I've got a blueflame turbo back exhaust with 100 cell race cat too, so you cant go wrong with the neuspeed. The odd time I have the ESP turned on I've never had a problem with it.

Not really an LCR fitment then really

 

[billyhas]

Nuespeed is fine.This is what i have now. LCR specific and no back box issues

It's a Miltek i've got now and still catches unfortunatly. It's just the way it's designed it think as some others mount different to the H&R one.

So what about the eibach rear that catches? Is that not for an LCR then?

If it catches the back box then how can it be?

 

[jase750]

Eibach on mine with Milltek it doesn't catch at all
