Do it Yourself -Lowering a Polo

Post by robertsm66 »

Hi All
Apologies as I'm sure this has been asked many times but how easy is it to lower your polo on your drive ? I've all the tools and lowered a T5 before but wondered what's everyone experienced with the Polo was ?

I've H & R 25 mm / 40mm and H & R 10mm spacers on there way.

Any advice, suggestions much appreciated.

It is very easy. Every bolt and nut you need to undo/do up is clearly visible. :)

Thanks, quite looking forward to it actually. Maybe give the calipers a paint while I'm doing it.

Will try and do before and after pictures....especially with my Matt black boavista's which should divide opinions !

Is there a how-to somewhere? I don't particularly want to lower my car, but I'm curious to know how it's done.

There are many guides at youtube. It is very easy.
