Steve - Should look good, looking forward to pics.

Muppet - you no longer stand out without your avvy, will have to look harder for your usually confrontational posts.

Lowering my Ibiza was the worst thing I ever decided to do, pain in the arse from start to finish and have hated my car ever since.

Back was a piece of piss yeah

We had the same problems with the hub at the front - ended up taking the whole thing apart, unbolting the bit after the CV joint.

Since doing it my ARBs have been wearing out at the joint every couple of months - and keep needing to be replaced because of it.

Its a nightmare

It's lower by about 35mm on Weitec Springs and Shocks.

They had a good readup at the time, i'd never recomend them to anyone else though.

mine seem to be a-ok, ride is harder but not stupid.

What do you need to replace on your arb every few months? just the rubber bits?
