what suspension should i buy?

right im an idiot!!!!

now weve got that out of the way, in english, what should i buy for my ibiza?

i dont want to go mega low, maybe a 30-40mm drop? i also dont want to spend a lot of money (as i need to stuff my matress with something )

so any recommendations?

thanks
si

i bought hot tunning coilovers for my mk3 and they where quality but if u want a 40mm really good setup u should go eibach springs and billstein shocks

high quality decent price perfect combo

how much mate??

i really dont wanna spend too much, i want it done asap!

the billsteins are alot more expensive that i thought they were

thats very kind of you gricey, thanks for that mate!!

the top ones, are they everything id need to lower my car? and are they the right sort of length? sorry for the stupid q's but im a nob!

and ive got the money spending feeling.....

`the coilovers go from -20 mm to minus 120mm if i remember they are nice and easy to fit i can help u if u want teach ya how , if i where u i would change the top mouints at the same time just cause they are 9 years old now and should be expensive but its your choice not a have to ,

but yeah that is all u need to lower your car

cool, whats top mounts, and where can i get them from?

also gricey, did you buy yours from that seller? they seem a bit too cheap thats all!

top mounts are a rubber bush/bearing which are sandwiched between ur coilovers/suspension and ur car suspension turret -

just dont buy GSF ones or a cheap brand as they tend to knock after a while

either get genuine ones (see me) or get uprated ones .....i think venom motorsport do em

do you work in a seat garage?

any chance you could find out a price please mate? that would be great

anyone else on here used the hottuning ones? or could recommend something around the 300 pound mark?

work 4 VW so if u get me part numbers i can get u a cheeky discount

does anyone know if they are same as mk4 golfs?????

oh right cool

do these sound like them?

6N0 412 249 C

edit think its these?
biza part number = 357 412 331 A, cost circa £16 a pair

does that price sound about right?

im so so confused

also... on mine is g-max shocks on rear, but new FK shocks on front with weitec springs. seems a nice set up, smooth but a firmness just to show it is lowered!lol

Ha, you trying to beat me on this Sparkie. I have to make a decision on mine suspension today and fit them on Saturday week.
I will buy genuine VW bushes is Fitzy can help .

I have heard the mk4 golf can suffer from shorter springs and shocks by being too low at the back which looks wrong. With coilovers I can make sure it is set up properly but would probably then leave them at that height. I also did not want to spend a fortune but would try to buy a known brand as I want to know what I am buying and need them quickly. Eibach are my prefered springs but out side of that I have not made a choice yet.

Hard isn't it .

Be careful Cali, depending on how low you go, on the MK4 the arb can rub on the drive shaft I think if going lower than 40mm. So you end up replacing it too, especially if you are running coilover's and want to lower it a bit more later on.

I only want a 20 mm drop, however I am having problems finding that.

I would go for some H&R or eibach springs if you only wanna go slightly lower/

cali mine is 40mm and drives lovely not too low ( not low enough for me but there we go )
i bought the hot tunning ones and they really are quality

my brothers mk 4 never rubbed and that was slammed :S

none of the arches where pulled or anything

just changed my shitty europarts ones after less than a year! put my originals bk on, much better!!!

have alook for FK Silverline coilovers, i paid an extra £60 for stainless version so they dont seize, but if moneys an issue buy the zinc plated ones, spray them with the lubricant you get, and if you fussy like my, ive now resorted putting a football sock over them, i had them off the other day and they are like new underneath (anal, ahem)

thanks mate! knew you'd come up trumps! any ideas how much they are from the stealers mate?

dont know i only bought them from europarts, and dont do that lol!

matt (fitzy) should be able to sort you out!


note for matt: all my wishbones and brakes and track rods are the same as a mk2 golf, but i have heard rumours of it being similar to a polo aswell

thanks mate, appreciate it! gonna go down there tomorrow and order a seat sport strut brace!
