Thanks for the offer mate, but i'm having problems finding anywhere to fit some springs for less than £100. Whereas i've been quoted £180 all in at awesome-gti :)

I presume your up north if your looking at Awesome for fitting, if your not too far from Silverstone then I can get them fitted for much less than £100+ :D

You should fit the rears yourself pal, save yourself a couple of quid. take you about 15 mins a side. Dead easy, 1 bolt to take out :D

I wonder if anyone knows the following:

Or the suspension of ordinary POLO and POLO GTI is differently? I am thinking in particular shocks!
I know that the Polo GTI suspension is 15mm lower, but whether the difference is only in the springs or shock absorbers are different as well?


Tnx

Not 100% sure, but I think it's just the springs :)
