its no harder at all to do the drivers side mate, atleast i didnt find so..... the wheels realy suit the car the pic is bad quality the center of the wheels are almost the same colour of the car this is a worsde pic ug shows the ride height a tad better.

How are the coilovers working sooty? I'm getting tempted to buy a set again now I've been paid. Did you sort out all the little niggles?

hi yeah the coilovers are great! love them! yeah there was a slight bit of subbing but thets due to the offset of my wheels i guess, handles so much better now, next mod has to be a whiteline rear arb.

gthe fitting was dead easy to do the back the front was a bit more complicated but i managed fine! han no special tools to do this with neither so it is possible even if you do the back yourself and save a few £ and get a garage to do the front :)

The FK Coilover Kits do look quite reasonable (compared to other kits on the market).
Looking at a good £450 for the FK's. For comparison Eibach Kit is £650 notes!! :blink:

.....add on to that the price of your chosen garage installing the kit on your car (for those not anticipating fitting the Kit themselves) - say an extra £100 at least.

Will create quite a hole in your wallet :( but I suppose the look of a decently SLAMMED Ibiza over one on standard springs/shocks = no comparison.

You can get the FK Silverlines for £416 delivered. I'm still torn between coilovers and Milltek tho.
