The rear is very suspect......

80quid on spacers is one of the best first mods....

 

[Lee C]

Mine has an H&R cup kit and spacers and i still dont thinks its great.

Maybe some stiffer shocks on the back may help but it fepend on what your wanting from the car.

 

[Jonzy]

Something that doesnt swap ends at a sniff

 

[ChrisCurzon]

not had any problems yet but only had it since staurday so havent even started to push it at all. my last car was a 206 with full coliovers on and the back end on that was dangerous would spin at any time without warning 20mhp and it would go.

think am gonna get dump valave new filter get the brakes sorted and a good service on it just to be on safe side for now.

Theres too much bodyroll, i think the rear shocks could do with being a little stiffer to be honest.

Saying that though ive only owned the car for 6 days

How long has the kit been on the car?

 

[Lee C]

About 2 Years from what i can make out.

Do you how many miles the car has done in that time?

your shockys may be mullered......giving the numb rear end

I would say thats probably your shocks playing up rather than the kit then

Enlighten me then as i have been looking for some decent suspension, fitted and including VAT for less than £500 and to no avail yet

i bought FK silverline X and got the car set up by troy at northampton motorsport. It was 4 wheel alighed, the ibiza was corner weighted and ride height was adjusted to my spec all. although i did drive all the way back to Cardiff Bay went to drive in the undercroft and scruuunnnnttttch 4mm to low.

its been adjust to the currect height now but i will say Troy knows what he's doing, top man

just measure the bumper height first if you have any obsticles.

Yeah i was going to go for the FK Silverline Xs but they are way too expensive!

Hhmmm Maybe this could be the cause then, ive been looking at suspension since i bought the car to replace what i thought was a poor kit, if they are worn it only gives me more of an excuse to change them.

I think the shocks have done about 30k ??????????

spray that lub like crazy all over the thread is my advice as my fk's have allready oxidised alluminium rings to the shaft and we had to strip all shocks off as a 5foot scaffold tube wont budge them. so the moral of the story is lub the shaft withthe recommended spray asap!

I think that would be some kind of lube to make it easier to adjust as they get stuck?
