hi everyone, i have a 1994 polo coupe "fox" the hugelly powerfull 1.05l lol, anyways i am in process of doing stuff to the car, I have just got a set of 15" asev (picture below) what i need to know is how low can i go with these rims on. I have seen spring kits that are 30mm 40mm then odd ones that are 60mm front 40mm rear, why is this, and also 60mm all round. I dont want the thing scraping the ground as i use the car everyday. oh the wheels are 7" wide. originally on a corrado.
thanks
what amount of drop for 15" rims
Re: what amount of drop for 15" rims
Kits that are 60/40 The 40's are rears and are normally adjustable, they'll adjust to 60.

What's the offset of them mate?
If it's in the 30s or 40s (Which I imagine it will be) you could get down pretty damn low with some 165/50 tyres on.

If you don't want it uncomfortable then go for 30/40mm. I expect if they are corrado wheels at 7" wide then 60mm might cause issues.
I don't see how a 40mm spring could be adjusted to 60mm. They are fixed heights unless you take out a "helper" and not even sure you can do this on your Polo.
