ive gone 120mm with 15inch wheels, all depends on what ET, width and size tyres you have mate, and what stance your after

Don't bother with the coilovers on clubpolo mate, waste of time. Plus you can get them for cheaper on eBay, same ones:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/COIL-OVER-COILOVE ... 286.c0.m14

Make an offer of Â£150, and rumour is they except

You can get stupidly low riding the OEM 15" wheels, it looks better if you get some 20mm spacers for the rear, and 10 for the front though.

Here's a GTi down around 100mm, maybe even more on the front:

Perfect stance

, but notice how much the wheels tuck under the arches. This is why it's better to get spacers also

ive gone around 80mm all round and it sits perfectly and i dont get any bump steer at that height as if you go too low you will get no end of bump steer and inturn ruin the handling of the car
