As we all know, the ignition system on these things is utter scrap.
A mate mentioned doing a single coil conversion from a Vauxhall Cavalier/Vectra 2.0 16v engine (X20XEV).
Does anyone have any info regarding this?
Many thanks
I know this aint a Skoda fabia forum, but it is a very similar car.......
Im currently in talks with my work about buying a 56 plate Fabia VRS thats just been traded in.
However there is a couple of problems....
The car itself has done 65K miles, has some fancy grey/blue leather seats front...
I bought the very same adaptors off eBay mate and i had no problems at all. Well made, quick delivery and worked perfectly.
Id recommend them highly rather than pay over the odds for H&R ones. Badge tax imo!
Ok, first update.
I raised the front up about an inch and its faaaaar better already!
New tyres is next (215/45/17), and im also watching some 25mm hubcentric spacers on eBay as i currently have 10mm spacers on and its still not got enough 'poke'.

Anyway, back to the Audi. I shall change wheels and tyres and raise it up for now i reckon.
Im thinking along the same lines!
I have some 215/45 Continentals somewhere to fit and i knew these cheap coilovers were only a temporary idea anyway.
Im sick of having my ARB rubbing on my driveshaft constantly!
Whats a tried and tested suspension kit thats not going to break the bank...
The way my car sits at the moment means i cant drive it properly fast, as the main thing is the ride height is just far too low.
Im torn between either handling or looks.
Is there a good combination of both?
Basically, whats the best wheel/tyre size combo and also suspension setup? I want to...
