Re: New on here

i think the main idea behind it is to start out cheap without spending 600-700 pound on new wheels.
painted steel looks cool imo =)

Coils wise: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COILOVER-VW-P ... 2a1aa80268 Sorry for derailing the thread but the whole point of coilovers is that you can adjust its "height" without deinstalling the whole system and installing it again is this correct? Or do you still need to remove everything t...

Re: My polo 6r 1.4i. Savanna yellow [edited]

ok, so after a lot of hesitation i finally decided to lower the car a bit.
What would be the best bet to lower A BIT (dont like when ride is TOO hard), not too expensive and not too rare / easy to get / install? =)
do such coilovers exist? =)

Re: 6R Polo GTI stage 2 project

physics? Any brakes can lock the wheel and let abs kick in, even the most shty ones. From this point your wheels is the main deciding factor as to how fast you will stop. Big racing brakes allow you to brake longer, will dissipate heat better and serve you longer but they wont stop your car much fas...
