I currently own a 2004 Ibiza Cupra PD160.

Mod List So Far:
Vogtland lowering springs (30mm)
Map/Tune (203WHP and 308FT/LB)
AP Racing 4 pot brakes (Yellow Stuff pads)
Wind Deflectors
Black Series Poly Bushes from Power Flex

That's all the car currently has at the moment (I know the brakes are factory but I added them on as not all Ibizas have them so it's kinda a mod just factory fitted)

I'm looking to make the car handle like it's on rails, chassis bracing, ARB swap, NS2-R Tires are a MUST. Anything I can do to make it handle please let me know. Also where I can get the parts from for it.

I don't wanna make the car lighter by pulling the seats or anything out as it still needs to carry other people around.

Would it also be worth getting a short shifter and solid shifter bushing? I'm not chasing power with this car (yet) I just wanna make sure it handles before going for power, the brakes are PERFECT how they are and stop on a dime (now they been replaced with EBC Yellow Stuff pads (might change them out for DS2500 pads and C Hook discs)

I've looked most places and there's barely any places that sell Cupra parts well for the diesels anyway. Does anyone know a place?
