Mods ?

[willowzn]

Does anyone have any suggestions for the following mods.


Brakes disks and pads ( replacement rather than big brake conversion)

Exhaust (Cat Back system)

K&N (No one knows which replacement filter to use)

Suspension (shocks and springs)

I have had 3 MK2 Golf GTi's and at last got my act together and baught an Ibizia GTi.

I have a 97 8 valve Gti. The handling is amazing for standard suspension. My golfs took coilovers ,anti roll bars and strut braces before they were that good.

I have only had my Ibizia for 3 weeks and have put some 17" BK 229's had all the black trim sprayed the same colour as the car. And the ice is being fitted tomorrow.

But I am not sure which brands etc work well on the Ibizia.

any help would be great.

cheers

Brakes disks and pads ( replacement rather than big brake conversion) - Pagid Fast Road - 256mm - so MkII 16v Golf - www.gsfcarparts.com

Exhaust (Cat Back system) - Supersprint fairly good - www.awesomegti.com (call for 10%)

K&N (No one knows which replacement filter to use) - the panel filter that's specific to the Ibiza 2.0 8v

Suspension (shocks and springs) - H&R, Koni, FK, billies - depends what you want from it / how low etc

My golfs took coilovers ,anti roll bars and strut braces before they were that good.

ARB's are good - mk2 fitment with a mild 'bodge fix' to fit the ream beam - strut braces also good.

m0rk - Thats what we did.... But we had fun (NOT) where you go>>!?<<

My suggestions would be:

Exhaust = Milltek
Shocks & Springs = Bilstein Sprintline
Coilovers = H&R
Brakes = Pagid Disks and pads or maybe Greenstuff?
Filter = Had a Pipercross but really it neededf a sheild to stop it sucking hot hot air in

but sure there are lots of other with experience of different things. Best if you could get to a meet and go for a ride in a few diff cars maybe?

reckon that even Demon Tweeks will sell you one..

I'll pick up a couple of VW mags @ lunch for inspiration - but they often show SEAT stuff for sale

cone filters suck hot air in - so replacement filter & drilled airbox is the way.

Demon Tweeks always send the wrong K&N. They never even bothered to try and find out the right one for me. Get a Green cotton from Bill instead. If you're going to go buy stuff check out the discounts section. If you want Bilstein suspension, hold on a bit cos I think Andy @ Redline should come in with some extra discounts soon.:) If you're in Andover, Des @ Banshee wil be convenient to pick up a strut brace.
