You won't get any rubbing 60/60 down. I'd try and go at least 60mm all round personally.

hey ive got a 1.4 16v 6n, and also runnin solitudes the now, soon to be rh cups though, awaiting refurb :P

but yea i think a 60/60 drop would just be a nice hieght, i was thinking a 80 drop all round for tht wee bit extra, just my opinion, but yea i think youll be safe with the 60 drop.

just watch the 40 drop, i done a friends arosa for her, similar suspension set-up to the polo and i didnt really notice a drop from the 40, but the 60 side, even tho just a 20mm difference, sat alot nicer and down right :D

Go 60, or better, if you have the cash, coilies and adjust to your liking :) win win situation ;)

thanks for the replys def will be 60mm all round i was thinking coilovers but u have to spend more money than i have to get a relativly comfortable ride so was hopeing that a suspension kit like this 1 would be best of both worlds a little bit lower but not compramising the comfort to much
any1 point me in the direction of some pics of a 60mm lowered polo so i got some sort of idea before i buy thanks

It'll be harsher than standard, but probably better than coilovers.

What 60/60 kit are you looking at?

Ah my bad, thought you were talking about a 60/60 kit. I haven't heard review from the listed spec sorry.
