ouch, suppose everyones done daft things behind the wheel, hopefully you've learned your lesson ha ha. Surprised you say the ibiza is better built than the corsa tbh, i would have thought otherwise with it being a newer design? Standard handling is safe but nothing great, should be better when you upgrade the suspension. I hated my first car lol, was a total banger. I'm from ayrshire mate.
klkl am fae fife have to get a meet set up some time:shrug: well yeh it was a 07 plate but it is a vauxhall :happy: yeh got maself some fk springs waiting fitting:) you got a progress thread ?

there's a thread up about a meet in glasgow for the 2nd october i'm sure. Funnily enough, my first car was a vauxhall as well, an astra that was a distastra ha ha. Do you not find the ride really harsh compared to the corsa? Ibizas are very firmly sprung, one of the biggest complaints about them on here, can't wait to change the supsension on my fr (which is much harder than the sports) which decent springs and shocks.

yeah i've got a progress thread, just click the link below that says 'reader's ride' :)

wy do that it just sounds silly wy not buy coilys for the same price ?

Cos coilies give a terrible ride unless you get really expensive ones (1k+). I do lots of miles so need somethin that's comfy.

60mm and 40mm on the front? Don't want to put a downer on it but, that'll look really odd as the rear sits way to high as standard and the front is not too bad so in effect you'll end up with a dragster lol.

Also, i imagine the golf wheels will need adaptors to make them fit.

im aware of this but av got a wee ploy :whistle:

got plans for a cupra rear bumper which sit 2.5" lower than my bumper so once fitted the car should should look bang on even with my lcr splitter :D

I HOPE!!!!!!
