I once owned an Ibiza TDI 130 Sport of similar vintage back in the noughties.
Hated the thing! It looked like a hippopotamus, the only thing harder than the interior plastics was the ride quality and the gearing was way too long.
I only kept it a very short time.
The 2006/7 facelift big bumper cars were much much nicer and VW nicked the FR bumper style for the current mk8 Clubsport…
Anyway, I didn’t keep the 130PD TDI long.
I went from a 2000 mk3 Ibiza TDI that I’d modified the arse off but couldn’t live with the H&R suspension, to a Leon Cupra 1.8t with which I left the suspension standard as it rode and handled nicely (remapped it though) to the Ibiza 130.
Immediately realised my mistake, traded it for a highish mileage Golf 1.8t which I added a Koni yellow kit to (and remap!) and hated that suspension too…
A Fabia vRS followed which had a much more compliant ride than the Ibiza 130 cousin so was left standard (AmD remap and 17” alloys aside), then a mk5 Golf 140 TDI and then mk5 Golf GTI.
The mk5 GTI was treated to a set of Koni FSD’s which were indeed nice and compliant. However they raised the suspension and would bottom out over large undulations
That’s the nostalgia trip over for today, plenty more kits I’ve tried in the very distant past though.
Caveat emptor when buying modified suspension parts is the message.
