your looking at the 'retro fit' ones, I've got the BOSCH AEROTWIN RETROFIT FLAT WIPER BLADES 2 X 19" (475MM), they're top notch

[quote=As for lowering, it depends on what wheels you are gonna stick it on. If its going on 15s, then drop the car 40mm on springs. Thats what i did and it looks great. You can go and do springs and shocks but it really is up to you, and keep in mind how many passengers will be in the car and what you are going to use it for.[/quote]

Just a question, i'm going out of my mind trying to choose springs for a 6n2 polo. Which ones did you choose? link?

Thanks alot :D

hmm, but then there is the added maintainance that goes with coilies? like greasing them up every 6 months or so? and having to adjust them often to stop them siezing?
