Sensible drop on coilovers

[Sisson]

That looks alright, Have you got a rough idea of how low it is?

Have you got a before and after ashot for comparison aswell?

Cheers

I don't know exactly how much it's lowered but it still has some thread left
I must say that it looks lower in real life then on the pics.

Before

After

I can tell the difference now,

Hopefully with mine being on 17's the gap between the tyre and the arch will be smaller,

Are you going to go lower?

 

[Ibiza Evo 2]

Next week when I put on the spacers I will lower it a little more on the back I think.
I do have to watch out for bumps because there are a lot in the town where I live.
But like I said before.....IRL it looks much lower then on the pic

 

[Sisson]

What spacers are you putting on?

 

[Ibiza Evo 2]

Don't know what brand they are but there also excentric like the ones from H&R.
They cost the same also.

i was thinking of putting spacers on the back but the wheels i have are offset ET38 i think so they stick out further than the standard Sport rims,

Have you had any problems with your coilovers yet mate?

It's better that you first lower your car and then look how much space you have left for the spacers.On the standard FR wheels it will do with 20mm spacers.

Any problems...it's been lowered for 2 days now and I only drove it from home to my work .But no rubbing for now .
I think I'll drop it a little more on the back when the spacers are on.

Is it easy to adjust the height? Is it a suspension off jobbie or can you just take the wheel off and adjust it then?

Did you have new top mounts fitted at the same time as your coilovers?

Thanks for the helpful replies

 

[Ibiza Evo 2]

Well,I didn't place the shocks myself so I don't know exactly.You can adjust it in front with taking the wheel of but I don't know about the back.

I didn't mount new top mounts because my car hasn't even got 3000km's yet so it's not necessary yet.

No probs

Iv ordered new top mounts and bearings as my car has done 30k and its easier to change them now rather than later.

My coilovers should be here in just under 3 weeks and then im getting them fitted on March 4th at JBS in chesterfield.

My new 312mm brakes will be ordered at the end of this month and should be fitted in march sometime,

Have you got 312mm brakes on your car?

 

[Ibiza Evo 2]

You got a point there,but my car is only a month old so it would be silly to replace them allready.

I haven't got 312mm brakes but i'm planning to do so in the near future
