They will be crap to be quite honest with you. Only get them if you are wanting a low car and not too fussed about the ride your going to get.

They aren't for a mk3 anyway I don't think. It's the 6k's you need

 

[JayCho]

i thought it was the 6k ones i needed, but on the sellers site apprently the 6k is 93-99 ibizas lol

You get what you pay for with coilovers mate, stretch and get a good recommended set like the weitecs or kw v1s

6K2 is the Mk3 ibiza (effectively a Mk2 Facelift)

 

[Ibiza125]

To be quite honest with you I wouldn't get coilovers at all if you can avoid it.

You can get MUCH more for your money spending it on a good set of shocks and springs, obviously loosing the ability to change the height...

 

[s1l3nc3r]

The only reason im going coilovers instead of a spring shock setup is for the height adjustment for the looks...

Im not full on into hooning it around corners and roundabouts etc...just eats tyres...

 

[JayCho]

would I be better off buying ARBs instead?
the handling on the ibiza is awful lol

 

[kyle'87]

They are worth a purchase yes but still will roll going into corners without the coilies

 

[JayCho]

ok thanks mate.
I already have a front lower strut ready to be fit, that will improve handling a fair bit so once I put that on I may just get my alloys re-furbished while i save for either coilies or ARBs
decisions decisions lol

Any suspension mod with a cupra is going to make a difference

 

[JayCho]

Very true indeed

 

[Adam R]

have a look at the link in my sig with regards to suspension

 

[cupramillo]

Get some rear spacers on first and foremost if you dont already have any on,. I left it almost a year before i got rear spacers and they make a massive difference to the cars rear stability!

ARB's will also make a massive difference, coupled with a decent set of coilovers and spacers you will have a decent handeling Ibiza.

AP's get rave reviews, im getting a set next week, best midrange value kit on the market by far!

 

[SeanyK]

I fitted a SEAT Sport suspension kit and front upper Strut Brace, made a massive difference to the handling.

Plus you can pick them up on the bay new for about £150 ish! (for the full suspension kit springs and shocks!)

It only lowers it about 15-20mm though.

 

[JayCho]

I already have spacers on the rear wheels.
I am not interested in lowering the car too much, wouldnt mind it but no more than 30mm.
I'll see how I get on after the strut is fitted
