I'm am thinking of getting the above Coilovers for my Ibiza cupra. Has anyone else got or no of someone that has these and is able to tell me if they are any good?

I was considering just getting springs but after finding these at not much more I may opt for these instead

i've read some things on here about them but most people say thy are crap :/

Budget coilovers, not built to be abused, they'll be alright for every day, average driving, they'll be crap for performance though.

I've done a search on them and A few people have them on several different cars. Seem to have mixed reviews but overall seem to be more good than bad!

A few people have mentioned about buying short drop links for them (ford mondeo/puma from memory). Anyone able to shed any light on this?

i put them on my 130dti a couple of weeks ago. they drop the car really low. if you want the stance these do it. they not that bad round the twisty roads either. i brought the shorter drop links any way.

 

[Cupra_Jay]

I'm not wanting to go stupidly low, but low enough to get a decent stance (if that makes sense). Do the shorter drop links make a difference and which would you recommend?

If you're on a budget or don't want to spend too much then they're a good option to go for.

As mentioned if you want to go low you'll need shorter or adjustable drop links.

Save a tad more and get weitecs

I've got JOM's on my tdi leon and can't fault them. I use them for everyday driving around town and very rough back roads and they are holding up just fine. I've lowered it pretty nicely with no need for the drop links but it seems you can just hit lucky with this. Not sure how this transpires onto the Ibiza but a solid purchase for everyday driving as above.

 

[Cupra_Jay]

That's what my car is used for. Has done a few track days in the past but nothing for a few years now! Not got any interest at present to track day it again!

 

[dedon]

My car is only a 90bhp so i lowered it only for the stance and not for performance. Sits well and being a student i thought the saving was well worth it. Comes down to personal preferance in the end like everything else though i suppose.

I use mine every day driving in london and I have all 4 tires in the arches. And being a diesel I have a lower sump that I have to watch out for. Prefer the joms to the stock 130 sport setup

DPM performance sell really good brands and a doubt they would selling crap. They might not a well known brand but when i got my AP coilovers, they wasnt either but i cant rate them enough. Iv had them 2 and half years and theve been fine

 

[DamianPM]

Now back in stock!

They are brilliant for the price! I have a set on my Ibiza purely for looks but they perform pretty well for the price! Don't be fooled into buying pricey drop links, just get ford puma ones. I paid £12 for a brand new pair and haven't let me down

 

[deanaird]

Just ordered mine Damian, can't wait .

I had the FK AK's on mine which im told are the same level of kit, ride does go harsher the lower you go but a nice firm stance isnt that bad compared to what the standard suspension was.
