New Owner - Ibiza Sport 130 Suspension

[DEMONKNIGHT666]

Hi all,
Recently bought a Ibiza Sport 130 Diesel and the suspension is very floppy also makes nasty banging and squeking noises from cold but vanishes after about 5 miles driving.
Anyone seen these, opinions please, should I steer clear?

i saw these too and concluded that if it's about £200 cheaper than anything else i've seen it surely can't be good??

I know what you mean but looking at the feedback the other people that have bought the coils for other cars seem happy.

i say - you usually get what you pay for

the ebay feedback isnt really a reflection on long-term quality either.

personally id avoid this and go for a better known brand. if your not wanting to dramtically lower the car then perhaps upgrading the springs would be a similar priced alternative from a brand you can trust

I'd say spend abit extra and get FK coilover's as alot of people on here have them, and they seem happy enough with them.
I think the lowest price ones are around £450...? and have a 40mm-80mm drop.

Hi
I would have to agree
When it comes to paying for things like coilovers it is better to pay a tad more
KW are excellent and Weritek are made by KW and they are a bit cheaper
I have known a few issues with FK cheaper ones , so best do a search on here rather than ebay to find out which would be best for you
There is also Koni and Eibach that are excellent , do a bit of reasearch on them , it will best to do the work before you spend your money rather than afterwards

I'll probably get a set of KW Varient 1's (about £535) for my cupra, though eibach are supposed to be good aswell.

ive abused my fk's and they were second hand and they are still going strong
