After swapping out the coil overs for standard springs I'm now getting moaned at for the car sitting to high! Ye cannae win!

What's the usual springs people use to lower their cars? With the coil overs it was scraping the ground so now I need something which will look good but still allow her indoors to go over the speed bumps at her work.

Cheers

I used H&R ones on mine - I wasnt sure what to go for, ummed and ahhed for ages, then at the MOT one spring was badly corroded so rushed to the nearest EuroCarParts for the H&R lowering springs. Think they said 40mm drop, but its not too low imho, having had MUCH lower on my weekend car, this is much more reasonable, gets over 95% speed bumps fine :)
PS I think the Ibiza sits very high as standard, even up against its immediate competitors it seems to look like a scared cat!!

I found these five miles along the road from me (Miss Esta-Jane Mace ;) ) and I've made a cheap offer so lets see what he comes back with :)
