@gaz

go all out and fit the fabia VRS bar , its 1mm bigger still, tho id still fit eibach springs and koni shocks if the budget will stretch , makes a huge difference along with a seatsport strut brace ,

Had a lil play today after gettin my koni kit fitted and im well happy. There just no roll now, also thought id have to compromise the comfort for the handling but i have both :funk: awesome
You wouldn't have a pic of your car from the side, like too see the stance.. Is it the koni's 30mm setup (I think referred as typ 1130)?

I'm thinking of that set or fk-königsport to replace my h&r springs -35mm and stock sport tdi shocks (new), which are not fun to drive. Front end is bouncy and rear end feels like it's a hinge. Fk would be high adjustable, but can't lower the car too much any way, and difference in price is about 160-179£.. Any suggestions to help my decision? Comments on ride comfort specially would be appreciated..

I have not got any pictures of my car but i can also vouch for the improved ride quality of the Koni Sport kit. I changed mine about 5 months ago and the suspension seems perfectly matched to the car now. The front dampers are on the softest setting (as i have a strut brace) and the rears are always on their softest setting. The car is much more 'planted' round corners now as the rear was a bit skittish with just one person in the car.

Why does the Fabia VRS ride and handle better

Hi guys,

Got a Ibiza FR 130 and wondered what I might need to change to get the Fabia ride quality? Or come to that better than fabia ride.

I assume that its all springs and shocks?

But reading this could it be arb's?

what makes you think the fabia handles better?

the fabia does have a thicker front ARB but it makes it understeer alot.

hey guys if i brought a set of arb's from eibach would that be a more worth while kit to the koni shockes and eibach springs? how much drop do u have on these springs and is the back higher than the front? and would this kit be ok on the 1.4's? thanks any help would be good!

In my experience the best suspention is "Bilstein B16"upside down technology,height adjustable.My friend and I both have ibiza cupra 1.9 tdi.We tryed "eibah" and didn't like it.With Bilstein b 16 it's like a different car.It's incredible,very stable,perfectly stable.It's like you are drawing on the road.That's the best there is.
