Will be sorting out the ride height once it's settled in but being able to turn it to soft is well AMAZING!

So much more comfort and the ride is pucka.

Yeah should be epic once I have my new wheels on that iv painted up and my stance is sorted ready for ud2012, looking into a rear arb ATM. Gona go for the fabia mk1 whiteline one and my own drop links, probably rosejoint it in or weld in a new drip link carrier....

Paid £670 in the end.... I think!

Pretty sure the Fabia ones wont fit easily.

You want Golf mk II or the Ibiza that ran with the Polo (mk III?). Badger5 sells brackets to allow them to fit. (Y) That's what I found when I was looking, just never got round to ordering it - now it's on the road again I shall have to!

Concenus is 28mm only with bigger FARB, otherwise 25mm.

Yeah I thought about the nuespeed but it seems abit overkill being 28mm, all the other links are for both front and rear, front is being updated but not ott size. Do I just email that badger5 guy about the brackets? Or can I buy them off a site?

Can't find any other Ibiza mk3 or 6k model of Ibiza rear arb...

No any? I can make any bracket. Was going to weld a plate on the beam if nothing else works and accomidate a bar.

They were all I could find quickly - pretty sure you'll be able to find just the rears somewhere - Balance motorsport maybe?

Think you can just email him. Pretty sure someone has put all the sizes/dimensions up on SCN so you could just copy those if you make your own up (which is what I'll do).

I think it's cos the Ibiza/Polo are roughly the same size as the Golf II, people list stuff for that mainly as it's a more common car - easy enough to make it fit though if all that's needed is a bracket.

Shame all the group buys keep failing for them really. :(

Tada - cheap too! Might have to place an order! :D
