Pic Request of: How low your car is and what wheels

[surcalation]

Basically I would like to harvest some pictures of mk2 Ibiza's with various sized wheels from 13"- 19" and need to know what lowering set up your running whether it be springs, coilovers or uprated dampers.

I need 1 or 2 pics of your car
What suspension you have
How low it is

For example

Wheels: 17"x 7"
How its lowered: FK Highsport kit
How low: Roughly 70mm in that pic
Does it rub: Yes
Any arch modications: No

All images and info to be used on www.ibizamk2.co.uk to help those in the future who want to do it

How low: Wound down abit
Does it rub: On the floor
Any arch modications: No

Hows that dude

 

[surcalation]

80mm you reckon jenk?

 

[jenk]

Honestly couldnt tell you mate. Would be interesting to know

 

[surcalation]

wonder what we could use as a base measurment?

Maybe height from the bottom of the side repeater to the floor?

Would need a standard mk2 Ibiza to work it out from first tho :s

When my car wasnt lowered at all:

BACK: 17x6(i think) no rubbing anywhere.

FRONT: 18x 7.5 rubbed on the OE suspension mount.

EDIT: the picture was when i was fitting the wheels, wanted a pic to show people the difference

 

[surcalation]

18"s on front?
17"s on back?

 

[jenk]

Ill hapily take some measurments for you. Best dim would be wheel centre to arch.

Mite be daft and drop it slightly more for next week

 

[surcalation]

but might be difficult if some people have modifed there arches. Plus if people have modified there wings and smoothed there side repeaters it will be diff.

Maybe should do from bottom of the window to the floor?

Here is one of mine:

Lowered on GAZ coilovers, apx -55mm all around. Standard 16" White Ronal multispokes. Rubs on the inside arch mould when in full lock. Also had to remove the drive shaft balancing weight.

Was going through my photos and found this pretty nice photo of my standard engine bay. Might be useful if you ever do need a picture of a 16v bay

best measurement would be centre of wheel to arch... as this doesnt change dependant on wheel size, where as if you put 18s on a car the whole chassis will move up and so if you lower it youmay find it sitting at standard heightoff the floor, but with the wheelswell tucked into the arches...

Wheels: 7x17" ET37 compomotive mo (3mm spacers on front, now on 15mm spacers on the rear
How its lowered: FK highline kit
How low: approx 50mm (i think)
Does it rub: yes on front arch liners and rear arches
Any arch modications: front arches rolled

 

[Mckellar]

lowered 75mm front/55mm rear
FK AK coilovers from polo with ibiza topmounts
rubbingnly off speed bumps and right hand balancing weight

A selection of mine lowered 40mm and on mk3 cupra 16'' wheels

 

[surcalation]

what you lowered it with wee c?

springs? suspension? coils? large bricks?

 

[WeeC]

Lowered it with Koni springs and Koni adjustable shocks - suspect that its might be actually more than 40mm

 

[surcalation]

looks a tad lower then 40mm.

This is my dilemma of working out how low a car is compared to standard.

I don't like the centre of wheel to arch idea due to modified arches. Anyone suggest a good one?
