has any1 got eibach coilovers and found that even when the back 1s are wound right down its still far too high? Theres still more to go at the front but the back doesnt match up. Will i beable to get shorter springs or will it knacker the shocks? ill put pics up tomoz cos its dark now :doh: Basically looks like a dragster

Same prob here. On PowerTechs coils though.. Was really looking for a slammed look, on front theres like 2-3cm air between the tire and fender:cry:

Dont know how the eibachs are built. But you could take the rear adjuster piece away thatll give you 1-2 cm more down on rear

i only want it level, im just disappointed that if i wanted, the front could nearly be on the floor (undrivabel i know) but the back has no where near the potential to go as low as the front.

the car dosent sit level the back is 20mm higher than the front standard so if you drop the back 60mm the front as to be dropped 40 mm to sit level. if you have dropped the from most of the way down there jus wont be enough adjustment on the back to make it sit level

the back is a solid axle as well and things pass over it like exhaust so if you go to low you will get loads off rattling

Mine is lowered on Eibach coilovers, nice and low at the front and could go lower, but as low as it will go at the back, and it looks like there is enough room for a small third world country to live in the gap still there...

This doesnt help with the lack of ANYTHING in the back, but still... shocking!

Will the two ideas said here really work? And at what cost?

Unlucky boys, mine sits perfectly on rear, plenty left on front too!

Always check how much the rears lower not just overall lowering.

Surely as the Ibiza sits higher at the back than it does at the front if you change it and make the back sit lower i.e. so the car looks level you will infact mess up the handling on the car to a certain extent.

Didnt know u had eibach, well we can get shorter springs but thats supposed to cause knocking and also the shocks are set up with certain springs so if we change them it will alter the ride, in what way tho i dont know :blink:

that word filter is playin up i think, i presume you meant to say "can" and not *** :lol:
and looking at you pics it doesn't look odd it looks like the beeza should do only lower all round, i think some rear 20mm hubcentric spacers on the back and you be all sorted mate. like the LCR splitter to ;)
