Ibiza 130 TDi Sport - 11th August - Splitter + Yellow Film

[Wilber]

They have been done on a Mk4 before and they look nice. I was actually after a set before i got Schmidts.

 

[dervpower]

Thanks, they should look nice once they are on lol. Just need to source some bolts from somewhere...

Your car looks great!

Loving your new wheels

 

[dervpower]

Cheers mate, Appreciated

 

[dervpower]

Still not fitted the wheels yet...

But when I do I'm guessing the car will need to be lowered. Now I want some coilovers, however £300 is alot of money! So have found these on the bay:

Now I know that usually you don;t touch ebay stuff, but reading the revews they seem good, also the adjustability is brilliant!! Would you risk it?

Another question: How easy are colivers to adjust when on the car, eg: if I wanted it at 110mm lower on day, then 50mm lower next?

I await the SCN knowledge to come flooding in.

short answer no!

these are the hot tunning ones that everyone has been moaning about...a quick search in the mk4 section brings up plenty of questions/problems with them, think they supply the wrong parts etc....and are quite crashy.

Im a strong believer in you get what you pay for so at £169 you will get not a lot....and you may need to replace them quite quickly. I would avoid these and save up a another 100 odd quid for AP's...

just my 2p...

 

[dervpower]

Good man Didn't relalise people were having issues! I'll give that idea a re-think then. I did think it would be too good to be true lol.

Thanks pal.

 

[knight85]

These look like another cheap set, however could remove the problem of spring issues up front? Hmmmmm

 

[Wilber]

All those ebay specials are the same cmpany using different names. If i was you id save some more money and get APs or Weitecs.

 

[dervpower]

Right. Money saving time Doesn't help that I have spent most of my wages this month already

 

[Wilber]

They will be worth it in the long run. Heard good things bout APs, but for my money itd be the Weitecs.

 

[dervpower]

Thanks mate I'll look into it.

 

[Scott-o]

Just save up matey, its well worth it! Whoever told you you need alu bolts needs to go have a word with themselves too matey. Just use the ones you get with them. Will look mint on the porkas!

 

[dervpower]

Bolt issues sorted now Scott, Sold the 25mm ones for £70 as was a little unsure of 25mm all around and 8" wheels... and the fact that they were ebay jobbies So now got a set of FK 20mm ones and bolts, should get them tomorrow, paid £100.

Job done.

Might look ok on springs, if it does, then i'll stay on them

 

[Scott-o]

think you woulda been okay with 25mm like, cos they are a dead high offset porsche wheels arnt they? I've got the 20mm ones on with a 7.5 inch wide wheel at et 35. Woulda rubbed with a 205 tyres on like

when you getting the porsche ones? bet you cant wait! They 8's all round?

 

[dervpower]

Think 25mm Would have probably been ok, but these came up at a good price, plus it was turning out to be a right arse finding bolts. H&R quoted £5.25 a bolt!!!

Porsche wheels are like ET53 lol, backs are 8" fronts are 7" I really can't wait lol, sat in my garage now, just waiting for the spacers lol. I'm away on some romantic crap this weekend so can't fit them

Probably fit monday evening when I get home from work though

 

[Scott-o]

haha you've failed there like. my lass knows its car>her lol

they are class looking wheels, bet its murder just them sitting there looking pretty!

 

[Mickylad]

That was my brother with the thread on the Hottunning coilovers, just dont do it. I bought AP coilovers after and they're so good he went out the next day and bought the same set.

Get them and you'll not be disappointed!

 

[dervpower]

Good man, cheers Mikey.
