Soz but couldn't find what i'm looking for using the search. Could anyone tell me what make of coilover generally makes the most comfortable ride.

Get adjustable damping ones and you can adjust the comfort levels to your liking.

FK, Eibach, KW

Cheers lads, how much would you be looking at for a kit like that from on of those brands. i've just been quoted near on £600 to get a koni street kit fitted. Thing is it don't look any lower than standard when it's on

 

[Poverty]

Eibach are height and damping adjustable iirc.

 

[villain24]

Cheers mate, think i'm gonna order me some Eibach pro street coilovers.

 

[Poverty]

Cool Im thinking of getting those.

 

[villain24]

Gotta be good hay, i mean eibach is one of the best makes, it's like getting a goodmans tv or sony

Don't know how they compare on the Ibiza (or if you can get them?), but I had H&R coilovers - fixed damping but adjustable height - on my Clio and they were a nice compromise for road use. I never got around to using them on track, but their reputation was that they were a bit softly damped for track use. Damn near perfect for fast road use though IMO. Might be worth investigating...

How easy is it to adjust the damping or height? Do you have to take off the wheel and stuff?

 

[Ad Lav]

Height is easier with wheel off, damping done from top of strut towers

 

[Poverty]

Not sure mate I would presume you might have to take the wheel off. Not 100% sure if the eibachs allow damping adjustment as it says depending on application...

 

[villain24]

It says that you can get them for the ibiza (6L) on the euro site.

Just bought some pro street Eibach coilovers, get them in two days. Can't wait!! How low should i go?

 

[Poverty]

As low as possible till your mum tells you it looks stupid. Then you will have car that looks attractive to the ladies, acceptable to their mothers and probably the best performance to looks comprimise.

 

[evo2345]

get some photos up when there fitted as im intrested in these, did you get them from awesome gti?

How low should i go?

So there is a few mm gap between wheel and arch. Not so the wheel is sat right up in the arch. That just looks stupid imo. Ad Lav has it spot on.
