Hi all,
I have just taken delivery of my new Polo to replace my much missed Golf. Times are harder than they were.
Anyways, I want to get some H&R springs (chose them after reading a few posts here and there) to reduce the height somewhat. At the moment the height at the rear is so high my car looks like a hot rod. I just want to lower it a bit so its even at the back and front but not so low that you cant see the top of the tyres. Not a racer or anything, just want a tighter ride and it to look a bit nicer.
Mine is the Red one
I want the level of the White one.
So would I need 35/55s for these or 20/30s?
When measureing it myself the gap is about 4 inches at the back..
New to this so excuse my ignorance.
Cheers all
Jimi

Why would you pick those? Most of the posts I have seen around say to go for h&r as they give the most comfortable ride when lowered?but imho if you can get eibach springs pick them
Thanks

I've got eibach springs on my gti and the ride quality is better than standard springs.
Every one I read about the low h&r springs is moaning about the shocking ride with them

Then the Eibach it is! thank you
Could you advise what ones I will need? I just want the arches following the contour of the wheel with about a 1cm gap.
