FK highsport are a popular choice, they are height adjustable but have fixed rate dampers (not adjustable)

i have these on my gti and i have lowered it about 80ish mm! but the anti roll bar hits the chassis at the front of the car so it might not be the best idea to slam it!

if u want pics to see how it looks then go to the Polo GTI section, its in there, hope that helps! :wink:

yup at -75mm its low enough really, anymore and you risk wiping stuff off of it or not being able to get into carparks etc
its all good and well saying 'im going -100mm' when push comes to shove you can't drive it anywhere up hills, or bumpy country lanes

practicality is a big issue!
