Hi,

Whats people opinion between Eibach and H&R lowering springs.

What would the drop be for a 97 1.4 Ibiza?

Thanks:cool:

Thanks flapper

Whats your opinion on just having normal shocks with say Eibach lowering springs.:confused:

I spoke to somebody who says it will be really bumpy, and possibly the spring coming loose when the car is jacked up?:sick:

Thanks for the advice

I would be surprised if a -35mm spring would be loose when uncompressed. Its not that short.

Bilstein PSS9 on my Ibiza and Bilstein Sprintline kit on my Jetta (7 years ago now and still going strong!)
