LOL

coilovers of similar quality to that suspension kit are around the same price, And how does it cost more to get them adjusted? you adjust them yourself it's not hard. It's not even hard to fit the suspension, just requires time and a couple of tools.

can i just ask...when you lower the polo mk7s on coliovers, does it nock the camber and tracking out? because on my mates lupo it had adjustable camber, but it seems on my mk7 you dont adjust it when changing suspension? my tracking and camber seems fine, but i just want to know if its worth going to a garage to get it done properly or looked at just incase its out

see that blue disc under the writing? its just basicly twisting that on the threads how you want it, the higher you have it the higher the rear will be, the lower, the lower, and if you want it decked, screw that disc off completely
