spring and dampers or ap coilovers

[flegz16]

right, as what the title says am abit confussed on what to get when my warranty runs out. i don't go on track days or racing or anything like that but,i want to lower my car about 60-65mm like the AP coilovers allow you too. im not really fussed about bin able to change the ride height, just a fitted ride height and a nice ride comfort would be ok. So does anyone know of any spring and damper kits which would allow me to lower my car (which is a 1.4 DAB 100bhp) the same amount as the AP coilovers?

thanks for the help,i know this forum is over loaded with coilover questions but a can't seem to find what im looking for.

You won't get a springs and shocks kit with that drop for the Ibiza 6L, it'll have to be coilovers.

Have you thought about the V-Maxx which are a lot less harsh on the road compared to the AP...

Depending how low you go it is best to get them as well.

ok well coilovers it is then. my warranty doesn't run out for quite abit yet so ill ask everyone who has got the AP and V-MAXX and see which ha the best reviews when the times comes. iv already bin looking at the V-MAXX set and new they needed droplinks, but iv read some where that they got slighty lower as well, is it true?

 

[binkylad]

ill be ordering a set of ap's very soon, they dont need new droplinks so ive been told. cant wait to get them in and have my car sitting nice

I think both need droplinks if lowering past a certain mm.

no they ap's are engineered so the arb sits lower with normal droplinks and avoids the driveshaft, so ive been told anyways

just oredered mine ther 2 secs ago

You might need shorter links on the AP's if going absolutely DAFT low.

But I am down 2/3 of the thread on the front and there is still an inch between the roll bar and the driveshaft

ill not be going stupidly low becuase i have the sytling kit front bumper which is half wrecked as we speak, but it sits alot lower than the normal one, so i figure itll end up being left behind sumwer after a speed bump has its dirty way with it
