I believe the Polo GTI was only lowered 10mm than standard, not much really but I guess VW think it must make some difference.
just wanted my car sitting about my tyres getting rid of the gap.UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

flattered! I will fetch some up to date pics.....
still some gap (and it's a mk4 i know) and that's about 50 or 60mm - never been quite sure as the chap who got the springs wasn't 100% sure either!

Not meaning to put ya off but a mate who got some 35mm eibach springs on his mk5 found that it didnt look too different from how it was as standard 
but they do tend to settle a tad bit after a bit of general wear. I was thinking of lowering my mk4 with the same springs, but now i have changed my mind and will save up so i can go for a better drop.

tnanks m8. Its hard to see. what do you think about it?where is it sitting? is there still a gap there?
Posted: Sat Jul 02, 2005 8:21 pm
There's still a gap of about 3-4 cm
Definatley looks lower than standard and handles 5 times as better also more comfortable!
Ive heard lowering more than 30mm on standard shocks can result in a harsh ride!
Hopes this helps!
