Just as the title says guys.

I'm looking for some lowering springs for my x reg 2001 1.4 polo.

I have about Â£100 budget, MAYBE a bit more if the product is worth it.

Thanks for your help guys, ive seen a few on the net and ebay but i have no idea what im lookin at lol

i had Spax springs (30-35mm) on my old polo and they were good!

H&R
Eibach

Both over Â£100 but worth the extra

Spax
Ventura (Â£50 right now)
GMax
etc
etc

Lots to choose from

Jackon Tuning / PhilJ kits are good according to reports!

Remember anything more than 40mm drop and your standard shocks won't hold up for too long (due to the fact that the shock will be operating 40mm lower than normal so under heavy compression you could bottom out the shock)

i got 30mm spax lowering springs on standard shocks. i brought them about 2 years ago and they cost me Â£100 from halfords. however when i have done all my body work i plan on getting new alloys deep dish ones and either air bag suspension or coilies depending on how low it is.

I have the eibach sportline 45/50 springs on standard shocks, had to replace a leaking rear shock last month but i'd done like 25k miles on them while lowered before that and that's not including the standard mileage on top of that

I've got the Eibach Sportline springs with standard shocks. Been on for 2 years now & still OK.

Will be looking for some coillies, soon, hopefully. So the springs will be
getting sold.

if i lower my car 30/35 mm will it make much of a difference visually?
