They will fit but the springs will sit differently due to the difference in engine weights, you'd be better getting some diesel ones.

Yeah, pretty sure the LCR doesn't have brackets on the front struts for the ARB.

The issue is that unless you've got LCR/TT/S3 wishbones you'll have nothing to attach the ARB to.

I'm sure it will all fit. The shocks are the same fitment and if you've got the ARB I can't see a problem. Get a pic of everything if you can and I can tell you 100%

By the sound of the OP's original post this won't be an issue as the ARB connects to the struts on the LCR.

The cupra r leon the anti roll bars come off the shock not the wishboune like our ones .but i dont even need to worry as can still keep standard anti roll bars just the holes on the lcr shock wont be used .
