I've not heard of them myself, but doesn't mean they're no good. Unless you're doing plenty of track work I would tend to stick with these:

There are far less adjustable parts to seize up on winter salty roads, and for general fast road use they are very well planted but still retaining good compliance. For a budget they are one of the finest sets I've ever driven. Everyone always says coily's coily's coily's, but unless you need to set your car up specifically to height or weight requirements there is no need.

I had spoken to someone a while back about spring clamps also.
These are primarily used by vehicles towing caravans, and only fitted as a temporary solution to serve this purpose.
Therefore, for the 'long term' task of stiffening the suspension/lowering the ride height to help remove excessive roll around corners, these might not be a safe alternative to lowering the rear.

What about the koni strt kit: http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/koni-30mm-strt-kit-ibiza-6l-0402-p-2275.html
Ive heard good things about them, quite fancy a set at the end of the month!
Anyone got any experience with them?

Cut the springs?
Getting that done properly is more expensive than getting a set of lowering springs. Doing it yourself without knowing what you are doing is what gave it a bad name in the first place.
Instead of going after market, could you stick with Seat suspension e.g. would it be a waste of time and money putting cupra suspension on a sport, and is it any lower?
You wouldn't really notice much difference and it would most likely be more expensive for a set of springs from Seat to a set from the likes of Eibach.

This thread has gone full circle...
Part of the original question was, how can you lower the Ibiza, also sorting the rear of the car that sits higher than the front by design?
Lowering springs will drop the car equally front to back, say 40mm.
However, the back will still sit higher than the front no matter what the drop.
So is it a case that only Coilovers will allow you to fix the stance, where the rear sits higher, as you will compensate by adjusting the rear struts further?
Cheers.
