What are the H&R springs like....?

Very stiff. Feel every bump on the road! Will take a week or so to get used to it a think! But much better on handling! Like a wee pocket rocket go kart!

how are the goodyears ? better than the standard dunlops

i had them on the clio and they were awesome

There a lot better than the dunlops! Especially in the rain. Definetly worth the extra money even tho they are meant to wear out a lot quicker!

oh yeah they didn't last long on the clio and that was only a 1.6 N/A lol

also where did you get the stubby aerial from?

So how much worse is the ride than standard, I feel all the bumps in the Polo already....

It gets much worse ?

Stiff would be good though...might help stop the car diving with the 312mm brakes I just put on...

If u already feel the bumps on standard set up then ur gonna really feel them with the HR springs! Its really only on bad roads it seems to be bad ie pot holes etc. On average road its not so bad, just need to get used to it.

liking the lowered on 16's look, so much so im going out in the rain now taking the comps back off, then washing and putting the 16's back on

Im still unsure which tyres to go for, would you rate the Goodyears over the Pirelli Exalto?

KennyPOLO_Gti · Post by **KennyPOLO_Gti** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 3:19 am

Not had the Pirelli's on ma car mate. Only had the dunlop sports then a tried the Goodyears Eagle F1s and its honestly like nite n day! So much more grip than the dunlop which really matters, would recommend it to every1!

since new years... ive done...

brakes... and thats it.

how shocking is that, must find something to do to it!

ive done most bits back end of last year haha

Jeff get those 16s back on and wind those coilies down!! and when you dont get full lock, stop. it only scrubs a little bit, not uncomfortably noisy!

p.s - braks are just begining to bed in now, but are so much different!!

glad your happy with them kc

i have washed my monzas last night and polished and detailed them, they are now ready for fitting tomorrow night and the comps can once again go in my room till summer

not lowering again though kc, im happy with my stealthy look, haha

someone scratched my car though recently and im in the process of wet and drying it out with 2000 grit paper used wet and g10 compound, about 12 inches on the rear wing behind the drivers door

but thankfully its coming out as its only just made its mark, its not deep

and sagaris, pirelli exalto ??????

exalto is a model of mitchelin tyre (mitchelin pilot exalto pe2) and pirelli is a different brand (pirelli p zero nero)

i personally have goodyear eagle f1 gsd3's on my monzas and they are awesome, and i have toyo proxes t1r on my comps, also great but not as good as the eagles

kenny, whats that badge on your boot opposite the gti one?????
