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:funk:

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?

Its absolutely spot on at the front. :funk: Back has not dropped as much as I would have liked but I can live with it. Just wait until the boot is full of my cricket crap over the summer and it will sit nice and low :cartman:

Ah, yes, the old trick of the full trunk.

When cricket season is over, may I suggest Tesco's 5 litre water tanks to do the job? :happy:

Sorry about before am new to this.......

Reading the posts about lowering an Ibiza FR I am considering doing this to mine I still have the standard issue wheels on, what would be recommended to buy to lower the suspension by about 35-40mm. Just the springs or do I need to d the lot and if so what would be a good buy.......?

Thanks for your help.
Uli

By way pics of yours looks quality..........
