Coilovers

[walker126]

anybody knwo if a set of coilovers from a mk3 golf would fit onto the mk2 beezer?

 

[orangemuffin]

will they fit.....probably

but they wont be weighted for an ibiza so you will most likley loose some good handling gained by coilies.....

Although....from what Midland VW told me when i showed them my Jamex coilies for my vento....sounds like compaines are making kits more universal now.....

i thought mk3's don't fit, either way just get a mk2 specific one (even tho all the models are the same, ranging from 1.2 - 2.0 16v)

i read before that golf mk3, polo 6n and ibiza mk2 all shared same suspension. but then also read that golf suspension doesn't fit the ibiza somewhere else. i know that polo suspension fits fine as a mate of mine had polo coilies on an ibiza

Why can't people just buy the coilovers that are meant for the Mk2 Ibiza???? There's sooo many different types ranging from £100 odd to over £1k so what is the problem?

Oh I know I fit Saxo springs to my Ibiza, although they not meant for the Ibiza, it's the same thing with fitting Golf ones.... get the ones that are designed for your car.

Simples!

im just asking coz i got offered a set for £80!

Do a search this question as been asked 100's of times!

So secondhand collies that are made for a different car than yours, says a lot to me! Save up at extra £80 and get some eBay specials that are designed to fit the Ibiza.

Two things I would never cut corners on with a car, suspension and brakes!

 

[walker126]

well i had never seen those ones on ebay until u mentioned them!

now going to get a set of those

Don't quote me on the price, I have never looked at them but know a few on here have got them.

If you mean the TA Technix ones I paid £200 for them. Ibiza specific and fit perfect.

Do the job and can live with them everyday. They are alot softer than the shock/spring kit I had on before.

yeah hot-tuning ones are the exact same as Ta Technix (made and supplied by TA to Hot-tuning) so get them...cheaper
and both have 2-3 years manufacturers guarantee's

Yep I know, I ordered the hot-tuning ones last June and noticed when I got them that they had Ta Technix on the bottom of the coilover and on the C-spanner aswell.

yeah as they used some other make before, and were proper crap/bouncy
these are meant to be a hell of a lot smoother!

might get a set in the future

Yeah I found the same! I got my coilies for my corrado and my biza from hottuning and aint had a problem at all! The corrado handles awsome and the ibiza just as good but we'll see what happens when the new VR Motors dropped into the little biza this summer if i get round to doing it!loL!
