yeh mine came from a mk4 polo ...didnt it?

I'm pretty sure Chrisdaman is running on mk4 Polo coilovers as well. But best wait for him to reply and confirm. All I know is that he found some new coilovers that are selling for about £200 that fit the mk2 Ibiza, and are actually a good bit of kit too.

i've said it again, but here we go

they will physically 'go on' the car, but they're not best suited - they'll be undersprung, under damped & generally not worth fitting.

taking the advice from people (or valuing their opinion) when all they want to do is 'wind it down to the bump stops' is like asking a vegetarian how they like their steak - a waste of time.

 

[Mckellar]

like the ending sentance there m0rk - fitting.

I just got some Ibiza Mk2 specific coilovers. The guarantee that came with them shows Ibiza/Polo 6n on the guarantee.... I did buy the Ibiza ones though that were more expensive than the polo ones.

Agree with Mork though, the weight of the engine must be a factor damping wise!

Have a word with Phil on Clubpolo. Can't rate him any higher

Mark, whats the ride like on the phillyjackons coilies? In comparison to the standard cupra one?

 

[MarkW]

hahahaha Not a clue mate. I haven't got the car back from the bodyshop yet.

If it comes back Tomorrow (I'm praying it will as I was supposed to have it on Tuesday) then I'll be fitting the coilovers on the day I especially booked off to fit them!

 

[ibizacupra88]

but i just looked and a 1.9 TD 3 door is only 55KG lighter and them engines are heavy?

Hurry up and gimme some feedback before I get mine!

cupra coilovers from jackson tuning are good, ive got mines on for a while now.
no signs of corrosion
good comfortable ride quality

 

[Chrisdaman]

the mk4 polo ones went straight one, and the EVO warranty says polo 6n/6n2/seat ibiza (93-99)

they're good, i wound mine all the way down, the further you go the harder the ride gets. There's no sign of corrosion (3months now) and i can rate them highly

no a personal dig, but you've just proved my theory.

Now that would be sig material if it'd let me put it in my sig

You never know, maybe that's all that ibizacupra88 will want to do with them anyway. I know that MOST people on here have bought coilovers to lower their car as low as it will go without scrubbing
