Lowered now I have a knock?

[Kingscote]

I fitted some coilovers on Tuesday but now. Have a knocking noise when going over bumps (biggish ones) and when I go round sharppish bends? I haven't gone stupid low, and there fitted correctly I will have alook when I jack the car up when I'm back but does anyone know?

Your driveshaft is most likely hitting your anti roll bar, you don't have to go low low for this to happen as more often that not it hits the front of the arb hoop, you'll need to fit another anti roll bar with bigger hoops like H&R or Whiteline, DPM Performance will sort you out..

Bigger drop links don't work I've tried this new arb is the best course of action, if you want to run lower.

yeah dont use the adjustable droplinks it never works, theres a guy on ebay that sells bigger looped ones for 80ish quid

How low can you go before the antiroll bar hits?

 

[Captain Cupra]

Prob 30mm I would say any lower and you'll have problems

Just want to fill my arches a little. Not got the time to be swapping antiroll bars. Anyone recommend apex springs?

I've had them on another car, I wouldn't recommend them personally, they lower the car which is fine but you feel EVERY bump I found

I have my APEC springs for sale theve only done around 3500 miles as I only had them on a year but don't do many miles.

What drop are they and how much you asking for? Pm me if you like mate

 

[Kingscote]

There 30-35mm drop. I would like £30?

Hi guys, I have the same problem where my anti tool bar hits the drive shaft. It's only the right hand side of the car (drivers side) I'm not sure why only certain ibizas do it... as a mate of mine has the same car, and he is a lot lower than me and he has no knocking noise. Does anyone know why this is as it's confusing the hell out of me

I have a mk4 fr 1.8t btw in case it makes a difference lol

Thanks

Is it the same for the tdi leon's?

If so what ARB is best to get?

 

[RaviR50]

yep i would think so, i went for a guy on ebay veedubmachine i think he has big looped onesfor about 80 quid delivered good for if you are just dropping it but slamming the car you cant use it, i just run without a front ARB because im soo low

 

[andycw]

Hmm, I'm undecided. Just need to get rid of the arch gap for now plus im already scraping the sump tray
Hopefully ordering some coilovers + drop links Friday

 

[RaviR50]

i founf i kept scraping the undertray, just took it off in the end you gain a lot more room

Is this arb bigger for performance purposes? I have had a look on eBay but can't find it?
