    Lowering Bocanegra

    I had KW V1s on mine, before i stripped it back to standard to sell. highly recommend them, slightly firm but real good handling.

    Coilover quality?

    i had KW V1 ones on my car, but now im selling the car standard so they have been taken off. they are KW so really high quality coilovers, think rrp is around £700, ride was firmer than standard as you'd expect, but not unbearable. probably wouldnt have been too bad if i wasnt running them...

    Coilovers

    that could be me, my KWs are Polo 6r coilovers. the Ibiza 6j, Polo 6r and Audi A1 are all the same car/chassis with a different shell. remember a couple of weeks a go someone saying the had 6L coilovers on a 6J tho.

    18" 8j 215*35

    Whats the offset ET number mate? tbh i would think 40 profiles on an 18 would be too big, my Mazda wheels with 215/35/18s where rubbing on the inner arch, okay mines lowered but even if it wasnt it would have been close. theres not many running 18's but pretty much all i know are running...

    18" 8j 215*35

    sounds about right mate, i tryed 8j ET35 on mine aswell but never put tyres on they fitted really nice but were VERY close to the coilover on the inside, but could be more of a problem for your depending on the thickness of your shocks and spings, the inside of the wheel might hit them

    18" 8j 215*35

    You'll should be fine mate, whats the ET i was running 215/35/18 but on a 7j ET 35 with adaptors 215 will give a slight stretch on an 8, this was the same tyre on a 7.5j wheel i also had thats a real nice tight fit^ 8j will give a very slight stretch what wheels are they mate?
