[ScotlandToIbiza]

Im currently drooling over this 80/60 kit from jackson tuning

but dont know if my car would comfortably do it on 17's? would the ride be harsh and rub?

thats how low mine is on 17 x 7s. theres no way really you could go lower on such a size alloy as the wheels catch the arch any lower, and do so if you turn the wheels too far either way at any speed.

if you measure a standard ibiza centre of the wheel to the arch ill measure mine and tell you how low it is. Then you can get an idea of how low 80mm at the front will be

which polo kit fits a mk 2 ibiza then?

As discussed a few times, "fitting" and being damped/sprung right are two different things.

ideally i'd like 70/50 but i think it would need lowering caps..

ibiza_95 surely thats lower than 80mm

buy the Iibiza coilovers from him. They're only like £30 more expensive. Hardly seems worth it not to!

 

[MarkJ]

Yeah, just pay a bit extra and get the coilovers then you can have it how you want.

Ibiza_95 looks about 50mm to me. On 17's you can't get much lower without serious rubbing problems. Besides the driveshafts are already going way passed horizontal at that height and you run the risk of the balance weights hitting the chassis.

chill out guys. I was only asking.

can someone gimme a link to these coilovers then?

[ScotlandToIbiza]

are coilovers set at standard ride height for your car when you buy them?

 

[ibiza_95]
