Thanks for the comments =] we shall see bout the brakes it's gonna probably be one or the other! 
UPDATE , car is now lowered with 20mm spacers also!
Hi guys, Been a while since i have made any progress on the ibiza but now finally its lowered and on 20 mm spacers.
Very impressed with the difference of the handling now, no more 'boat' feeling in the twistys which i hated so much with the standard suspension, gives you so much more confidence driving it in bends now.
I Had a bit of trouble trying to get the right height as the rear spacers were causing the tyres to catch on the arch but after a bit of fafing about i think its at the right height now.
I think i Just need to get the tracking or alignment sorted as my steering wheel is positioned to the right if i wanna go in a straight line
Heres the progress of what happend anyway:
Old shock vs new coilover:

I wasnt happy with the height at the time was a bit too low i found it very bouncey and crashy. So the next day i raised it a bit.
Week after me and a few mates decided to go to london graffiti tunnel again to try and get some even better pics than last time here are quite a few good ones. Enjoy!
