Dollyburd Look at the rear shocker and see if theres any wee grooves below where the spring is sitting might just be its been set on the higherst setting and you have to put the spring cap right down to the lowest setting? tell me how you got on!Cheers

Latest News!!!!

Spoke to POTN this morning about the rear shock to be told its meant to look like that even tho my order was 60mm drop for polo 94-00xl, i sent my confirmation email about it, to be then told i would have to pay £40 for a new set of shocks and pay for delivery and well as postage to return the ones they sent me.

I hate sellers like that. If you paid by credit card contact your credit card company and inform them the item supplied is not the right item and not fit for purpose and open a dispute.

Nooooo way are they meant to look like the cars been jacked up!

Also worth a try to contact your Trading Standards office for advice it's free and they will be able to tell you what to do as having dodgy suspension can be very dangerous.

Hope that helps.

For reference the part number for the 60mm kit should be PISK4010XL.

Might be worth checking if there's a part number on any invoices/emails from POTN or on the actual shocks themselves.
