Guven8 Guest May 30, 2010 #1 Hi everyone, this is my first post ive owned my mk4 ibiza for a month now and I love it, there's loads I plan on doing to it but im a bit worried about lowering it as there are speed humps on my road. do you think I should just leave it at standard height or just lower it a bit?

Guven8 Guest May 30, 2010 #3 sounds like a good plan! your car looks awesome, how far is it lowered? and do you have trouble with speed humps

Guven8 Guest May 30, 2010 #7 Black 1.2 12v It came with 15" alloys, though might swap them for some 16s before I lower it

Guven8 Guest May 30, 2010 #11 yeh I know what you mean about 17s looking better but as its only a 1.2 im worried about how it will affect performance. plus I saw another 1.2 with 16s on here an it looked alright
