[ibiza_cupra_gti]

hi all thinking of lowering my car 60m on the front and 40m on the back its currently on 17s but looks abit high..what u think?

Will you be lowering primarily for looks or handling?

60 will be bump city, dont just replace the springs, buy a kit as itll last longer and not shake your car to bits.

dropped 40 front and back on eibach springs, lowered perfectly but was a little crashy over bumpy surfaces. the first pic was shortly after having them fitted, the second was a month or so later after they had been run in.

i want to lower it for the looks mainly..i was thinkin of buying a full spring and shock kit off ebay i think its made by fk,i wanted to lower it more on the front because its alot higher than the back.

 

[cordobabrendy]

unless you get rear adjustables the rears when on an equal front/rear drop will look higher due to less weight on the rear, once you are in the car it should look fine.

i have a set of mk2 coilovers for sale mate, got them in the group buy but had a change of mind.. couple of pics..

Get a set of FK Highsport Coilovers (like above), adjust the height to whatever you like then and they are real good!

hi dave think ive seen some pics of urs..looks mint, how much is yours lowered?

 

[Dave_R]

Not really sure, i think it's but 60-65mm. I just left the coilovers how they were when I took them out of the box and raised the front end a lil bit the other month but best thing wiv coilovers is that if you want it lower 10mins work and it's done.

ive just won some on ebay some fk ones..how do you adjust them? is it the bolt on top?

 

[Dave_R]

there's like two plates below the springs jus move that up and down.
