I put 20mm rear spacers and toyo proxes 4 on mine and that helped the handling and grip loads. I thought the back end was pretty loose too prior to these mods. It's still not exactly planted but it only slides when you provoke it now. I guess in your case having your car leaning to one side doesn't really help either!

I've had this happen to me also on a round about, which i found unusual as my car is a diesel which really loves to understeer. In my case i put it down to the "slippery as f..k when wet tarmac'' and the ibizas tendency to throw the back out when the front outer tyre is fully loaded and tracking smoothly (ie no jerking the steering wheel). Mine is on coilovers and stock 15"s with winter tyres atm.

Solution to the problem, get better tyres, or be ready to put some opposite lock on. :)

Good question Eduardo. In my case i think it is down to the coilovers and how low they are set at the moment. But generally I'm quite disappointed with the handling of the mk3 ibiza, being similar size to a clio 172 I thought it would have similar dynamics :confused: however the torque of the diesel is pretty sweet so it will have to do.
