ARB question mk2 ibiza + bushes

i know everyone (pretty much) has a neuspeed setup and are happy with it, running 25mm front and 28mm on back. i was just wondering if this one would fit? from venom motorsport? click

my car is very low and im getting some handling problems now, dont wanna put it up coz its got such a sexy stance. it was ok before tbh, just recently messed up. i havnt tried the ball joints etc i need to get them checked out too jus incase ther loose.

also im looking into changing bushes, apart from poweflex what others are there? are they any good? and would it be ok to just to change the front bushes and not the back or wouldnt that make sense lol?

Ask a silly question as I don't quite know what ARB's people put on their car... but doesn't that say for all cars running the Golf 4 platform? I thought that was totally different to the 6k Ibiza?

Will be getting some ARB's soon, just getting some coilovers tomorrow first!

yeh just wanted to make sure (im not that newbie) its jus coz i called up venom motorsport and the guy said there is one available and he pointed me in that direction. so he doesnt know wot hes talking about.

anyway ive lifted up my car and raised the coilovers a bit to test them at a higher height and i noticed that the rubber grommit bit inside to keep the dirt away was damaged. ima email jackson tuning now,

anyone else with these coilovers can you tell me why this has happened? front two have ripped and the back just pop out when i lift the car. ill try and get a pic too.

that's just dirt boots, nothing to worry about


:) seriously? hehe put my mind at ease. when adjusting the coilovers the whole springs turn too, is that supposed to happen? should i be adjusting it with a spring compressor?

and thers like a rubber mount inside that looks like its been shredded a bit.

Yeah they are similar, but hard to get hold of. They bolt straight to the shocker, where as the golf ones, you have to make brackets up for them.
