Gooner_Mike's Ibiza FR 20vt

[Altech]

Looks loads better mate Any difference in the ride comfort?

I noticed that when I dropped my Ibiza it made the wheels look bigger as they were no longer lost in the arch!

I'm not too keen on the rear badge. It looks a bit grey...or is it just the pictures?

Yeah, I think the ride is much better, feels more "planted" and even more comfortable on A roads and a bit of motorway that I did today! Its hard to explain but it does feel better.

The badge is matt black, its just the photos making it look off colour. I like it at the moment. Going for a black and grey colour scheme...

Cheers mate! I really think the wheels suit the pre-facelift shape and I have never seen them on another Ibiza (in the flesh anyway!) Swap for your TT Comps?

It makes a massive difference to the looks. The front looks really aggressive and the rear looks OK but a little high still. Do it, you know you want too!

You should be fine with a lowering spring kit. Like my springs, the front is the most noticeable drop with the rears only slightly lower. Springs would suit you fine, although if you did get coilovers you do get the adjustability of ride height to suit your needs. For a a budget lowering, springs it is. DPM performance has a good website with lots of spring choices for the Ibiza CLICK HERE

[ChromePete]

oi!

Where's my credit for the hard work put into the springs?? The blinkin spring fairies didn't put them on, someone had to bleeeed!! haha

Your car looks wicked, much better, those wheels look the nuts now. Space 'em out a bit, get the backs flush with the arches.

I got the quotes for all my bits today and it's gonna work out over £300 inc the dreaded to replace everything, so one bit at a time eh? £59 for springs and see which dampers leak I think?

Yes they are on standard dampers. There are differing opinions on whether to run standard dampers or uprgrade them... I will probably upgrade when these ones reach the end of their life, but there is no telling when that might be!
