lowering

[alseat]

hi guys, i have a mk4 ibiza 1.2 (slow i know) but i was thinking of lowering it and putting the spare set of porsche teledials i have on.Now i was going to go down the route of shock and springs instead of coilovers but i was wondering if you could give me any recommendations as to what is good and where to buy. I dont want it totally slammed, about 40mm im told will look ok. any help would be great . thanks alex

If you don't mind me asking Alex, how old are you?

im 26 years old and i used to be into dubs,i had a mk1 golf which was very clean and was on coilovers which had no movement whatsoever (i bought it like this) my x gave me a lot of grief regarding comfort so i regretfully got rid of it, at the time me and me bro went to quite a few shows such as inters ect.. just recently we went to the telford show and edition 38, now i realize i want to put some rims on my car and drop it enough just to sit nice hence asking on here. I would go out and buy something with more power but i will be getting a honda cbr soon and that's going to cost me about £6000 plus £1000 insurance.

im still not sure what relevance my age is to my question.

thanks alex

35mm springs on it own will do just fine tbh

Because it you were 17-19 etc and insurance was the reason you'd bought a 1.2, I would've said save up for a higher powered car. With this not being case, and presumably with you wanting to keep the car a while, then go for the lowering.

Do you have a budget in mind?

i want to keep it fairly cheap around the 300 quid mark as i only take it steady in the car and just want to make it look better.

We have the JOM coilovers for £195.00 but if you wanted to stick to springs and shocks then something like the AP or Vogtland are both within your budget - http://www.dpmperformance.co.uk/ibi...7.html?zenid=e440070ede7baec088a37f91e49ade93
