howdo
was thinking of gettin my ibiza lowered its a mk4 1.2 and just wondered what would be the best way of lowering. i was thinking of just getting lowering springs but i've been told to get shocks aswell ?

also what would be a good ammount to lower it i was thinking around 40mm?

I think most spring and shock combos drop the car roughly 30mm. I fitted coilovers to mine and have dropped the front 40mm and the rear 60mm

FK Konigsports (my thread might be a bit long to look through lol). FK kits lower the rear more than other kits without having to remove the rear adjusters.

If you just want a small fixed drop (30mm) then I'd say go for a matched spring and shock setup. A lot of Fabia vRS owners use Eibach springs and Koni FSD shocks. If you want a bigger drop like mine then I'd say go for a good quality adjustable coilover kit.
