What you going to go for? I'm thinking coilovers as i can't find a spring and shock kit that give the drop i want. Only thing is i don't want the ride to be anymore jarring than it already is!

Not too sure atm as can't find any coilovers that are cheap enough! They all like£600+ found some springs that would drop 40mm on the standard shocks for £100 but i dunno if that would be enough :)

2 cheap options:

Raceland coilovers or Rokkor coilovers. Both at £180 ish.

There are also the FK AK ones or the JOM's (need shorter droplinks, ford puma ones are cheapest option) at about 220 without droplinks.

Next cheapest are the v-maxx.

Cheers for advice, do the racelands/rokkors need droplinks?

Cheers! I like the splitter on your ibiza how do they fit on? Assume you have to glue them on or something?

Lol lots of f'ing and blinding. They are made for the lCR so really don't match the curvature of the beeza bumper!

You have to cut the v's down and use screws to screw into the bottom of the bumper.

Sounds easy but you really have to bend it and Im a perfectionist so it had to be perfect! Taken the best part of a day for me to do lol.

You need two people definitely!

looks good mate

check my thread for some cheap easy mods

so many to mention!

LCR splitter is piece of piss, needs bit of cutting, have done 3 or 4 already and have got it down to an art

lowering wise, i went with 50mm drop on dampers and springs, frim but good drop, as car is my daily driver
