Offset is the biggest issue of all when fitting wheels. check this link out as it gives you information on how a new wheel (width and offset) will sit in comparison to your existing set-up. I found it realy useful when it came to buying wheels and spacers :

Thanks Gooner. A cage has passed my mind but air ride is defo on the cards before that :D

grrr i hope you don't get air before me :happy:
Having a look at that Havair place and do you think option 1 would be good enough. I don't need it to come up n down quick

I challenge you to an 'air off' haha. The option one Geoff offers is good value but its very very slow. One of the Mk4 Golfs had it fitted and you wouldn't realise it was on air until it went from highest setting to lowest setting as the trasition was slow. Option one is also a manual system with needle gauges so it all depends what your after realy. In my opinion, its worth paying a little extra for the electronic system as its much better.

The system offered by Voodoo or Luke at Plush is the best but the cost is rather hefty at about £3500 for the entry level kit.

I've been advised by so many people to stay clear of Rayvern so you might want to keep that in mind when looking about.

The bagyard systems seems to be having good reviews so I might have a look into that and get back to you with some info on prices etc.

thanks for the help man... I was looking on spending around 2k on it anyways, which probably means I can get it around christmas time hopefully... The bags replace the coilies don't they so i could sell them off to pay towards it

Cool. £2000 sounds like a reasonable amount to set aside for it. Yeh the air ride kits replace the entire coilovers so you could sell those on. Let me know how its gets on as always handy to get as much info as possible :)

Rear seats, parcel shelf and gear gaitor are all going in on the 1st October to be trimmed.

I've also decided that air ride is the only option to solve this ride height issue as I'm really not happy with how it sits! I'll probably take the car to Luke at Plush for the fitting as his attention to detail, care and knowledge is fantastic. Spoke to Luke back in June and at ED38 this year and I have full faith in his work.


Also, just to keep this thread alive :)

Nice car mate , Prefered the tt alloys if im 100 percent honest!

I dont remember seeing you at edition! mine was the candy white ibiza in the show and shine area

P.s I want those seats!

Thanks man. If I'm honest, I also have second thoughts about the wheels at certain angles but going to sit tight untill the air ride is fitted as I hope everything will pull together! If that fails, I'll be in the market for new wheels!

I was only there for the sat and I was parked over by the Voodoo Motorsport stall! I remember seeing yours :D haha.

BBS RS301's hmmmm :drool: but very overplayed these days. If I had the money it would be a set of Gotti G1001 wheels....PHWOR haha.



How can you say you arent happy with the height? I think it looks spot on! :lol: And the wheels look mint :)

Cheers man, means a lot.

Cars looking good :) get it lower! haha

I'm on it :)

Lowest static Ibiza ....I like that possible title. I'll get some units up with photographs of the ride height for you guys.

No trouble at all with scrubbage, even on full lock. I was honestly surprised when I drove the car for the first time with no problems. A lot of it is down to the 195/40/16 tyres.

3 Door FR sounds sweet dude. You could easily swap the wheels, coilovers and other bits over within a day too. I'm also on AP coilovers like yourself, Just wound to the bottom :)

That looks awesome from the front dude! I need your wheels :D

How low are you, certainly could be lower up front, then maybe some bricks in the boot?

I'll get some units up of the drop I'm on dude sometime over the weekend. I also think you need my wheels, get in contact with compomotive for a set haha. I have dabbled in the fine art of lugging weight in the boot but came out with reverse rake....not cool!
