Dion!

Im running these on my Passat and will be getting some for the Ibiza. They delivered quickly, had good communication and the ride is really good. (I am only half way down though) Prefer these to my old FK coillies.

ive got them on my mk3 and there SOLID. realy stiff but good if you like that sort of thing. mines have also seised but thats because the last owner didnt pack enough grease/anti-seise compund on.

if/when you get them plaster them in grease,

and before you put them on screw them prittey high as when you are trying to level out the car it is much easyer screwing down than up against the spring force.( skint knukles, wear gloves hehe)

There's been lots of discussion about these, have a quick search and read the other threads before you commit

yeah they are decent tbh, delivery is like 3-4days from belgium (sorry looks like the mods/admins don't like me advising to get some hottuning coilies, so have made it an asterisk for when I write hottuning. eu lol)

good tip for stopping ceasing, get to the right height, then using electrical tape (the thick coloured one)
wrap the coils that are showing, then remove when you wanna re-adjust, then retape it

Thanks Suj, emailed the guy and got them for £175 plus £14 delivery. not bad for a coilover set.

Will wait till they arrive and get fitted to report on the quality! Thanks.

Dion!

Have a set on mine and after heing many models of coilovers (FK being by far the worst). Unless you plan on racing or really heavy road use that the ibiza chasis isnt really the best at anyway then. These will be firm but then again you dont buy coilovers for comfort and the standard ibiza suspension isnt the most forgiving anyway.
