Lowering my 9N3 POLO

Post by Eli_173 »

I have 1.9TDI polo, I want to lower it so it has a nice stance? i was thinking 30mm?
can someone post pics of there polo's or recommend some suspension?
also lowering springs? coilovers? im not 100% sure what to do!

Lowering 30mm on a polo Is pointless as the arch is so big

Go for coilies then you can choose the height

Disagree. Mine on 35mm wasnt a bad height.

The arch seems to measure about 50mm and that's on a gti which is lower from factory

The 15-20mm wouldn't make much difference to me.

Needs to be at least down another 30/40mm imo to look smart

If your lowering more than 30/40 i recommend you get coilies instead.

I had 50mm on my standard shocks and the ride...well, no one would sit in my car
