Post by: Seanl on 24 July 2011, 23:47: Not usually that keen on Leons but this one looks the tits! Looking forward to updates. :cool:
Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: SoundillusioN on 25 July 2011, 01:52: This may sound ridiculous but I don't remember ever seeing a red one on the road. :huh:

As a rule I don't usually like red cars but I like this a lot. 50/50 on the red rim lip. Maybe a little bit lower and I think it'll be perfect.

Love it.
Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: lemski on 25 July 2011, 17:07: Red cars are the best. Lowered and it'll be perfect.
Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: scottv6 on 25 July 2011, 17:46: thanks, like i said the wheels are going gloss black soon, but the ride hight is staying iv had my fair share of lowerd cars and this ones staying standard hight so it can be drove how it should be drove.

Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: SoundillusioN on 02 August 2011, 22:07: I may sound a little mad now but the front of these especially when red looks a little Ferrari like with the lines down the centre of the bonnet into the Grille and Bumper.

Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: VR6_Wherry on 13 August 2011, 19:42: 10-15mm all round and that would be perfect! <3
Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: scottv6 on 13 August 2011, 20:08: That's what I'm thinking. Them lowering caps lower 10mm on the front but want to no if they fit on the back.

I had some on my Golf and they only did the fronts, they do work well. Not to sure how the LCR suspension setup is though :undecided:
Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: T_J_G on 13 August 2011, 20:20: Use Polo top mounts to lower a touch?
Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: scottv6 on 13 August 2011, 20:54: i no the caps fit on the front but unsure on the rear, i might get in touch with fk and see if they do any.
Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)

Title: Re: my LCR (project oem)
Post by: F17BAD on 29 August 2011, 20:27: i have the 007 on mine, currently running the yellow spring in it and i have a K&n induction kit thats relocated to behind the bumper

i never ran the car with the crap plastic bosch DV because i fitted the 007 when i installed the engine so i cant comment on how it was with the old one in place, but its a must have on any mapped AMK / BAM and im suprised yours has not already been changed. id do it now mate or as soon as money lets you

i get a great sound as it puts the air back into the induction kit, and i dont mean a silly chav Whooosh noise :laugh:
