[Forbez]

Great your going ihi bet that will be a great track car, how much are you selling your seat sport kit for?

Sorry i have already sold it.
Me and bill fitted the rear ARB with badger L brackets.
I fitted the front ARB and the bushes but did it off the floor (may need to adjust the ends now but i'm sure the nuespeed paper work sais to put the front end up on axle stands).
For prices of the ARB's and bushes best to speek to bill as thats were i got my parts from.
Rear strut braces new off ebay.
Front one from dealer.

Hope this helps.
Olly

you've still got the for sale ad in your sig mate

Any pics of it fitted with the 'L' Brackets, Bill, Olly?

Olly interesting that you say (and yes i notice you say you think the neuspeed paperwork says to use axle stands) as when Deejay and Addo, were having problems with the brackets on the front snapping, IIRC Neuspeed said they believed the cause was that it was being fitted with wheels off the ground, and should be fitted, all sat down.

Note, i'm not questioning anyone, just genuinely interested.

Cheers.

I have dug the nuespeed paper work out the bin and your rite.
It says to fit it up on axle stands then lower car to floor and do some final adjusting on the end joints and if this is not done it could brake, so i will be doing this tomoz

Is the L fitted on the bottom of the suspension strut?

both fronts in the air=fine.
one up and one down=not fine as there is load whilst trying to adjust them.

 

[ibizacupra]

yes as shown thru the existing hole seat kindly left there

 

[Forbez]

Ahh, Cool, Cheers Bill on both answers.

 

[Olly20VT]

This might help.

Olly did you have to use the drill to install the golf mk1 rear upper strut brace and how much is it eating the boot space?? I already have all the other things sorted, but I'm missing the lower front strut brace that I got from OMP and the rear strut brace. So I'm definitely interested in this one since I haven't heard anything about it.

 

[JIMYU]

The rear brace is fixed around the strut so no drilling should be required (as long as it's golf1/polo 6n fitment)

Great!! Except that looks like UK only stuff. I know wiechers also manufactures rear braces for Ibiza but that definitely requires drilling.

EDIT: On the other hand, I see they also deliver world wide so there's still a chance.

 

[Olly20VT]

As said no drilling, fits nicely.
I had to make some nuts as my kw's have an odd thread size on the rears strut tops. i can do a pick if you like?

 

[Forbez]

Olly, cheers for highlighting the L bracket, it helps.

Cheers Mate

 

[Forbez]

Just recieved my brakets from Bill, Olly, did you have to drill through the ermm Hub? for fitting the horizontal section of the L braket, or are there already holes there?

Cheers Tom

 

[ibizacupra]

you will see from ollys picture where the top part bolts... to an 'existing' hole.

no drills req'd. It will be obvious when your under the car looking at it
