What alloys and coilovers?
Re: What alloys and coilovers?
Yeah I would love a set but I'd imagine they are hard to get hold of?
Re: What alloys and coilovers?
Could I be cheeky and ask you do the green wheels/lowering on one of the better pics I posted in this thread? (preferably the rear shot if possible)
Much appreciated. Thanks mate.

Re: What alloys and coilovers?
How's this?


Re: What alloys and coilovers?
Yeah man, much more like it. Actually like the green wheels in that photo! May get it done...
Re: What alloys and coilovers?
With regards to coilovers, does the kit come with everything I need to fit them? I hear camber bolts being mentioned, do I need these seperately?
Also, do I need the tracking doing once they are on? Never had coilovers before, just lowering springs so unsure on whats what.

Re: What alloys and coilovers?
Any suspension jobs and you should get the tracking checked unless you want to smoke through tyresJordi wrote:With regards to coilovers, does the kit come with everything I need to fit them? I hear camber bolts being mentioned, do I need these seperately?

Especially changing to coilovers, get the tracking done asap afterwards

Re: What alloys and coilovers?
Cheers mate. Do they come with everything I need to fit them?
I have heard camber bolts and top mounts being mentioned but no idea on if I need them/If they come in the kit?

Re: What alloys and coilovers?
They dont come with those kits, top mounts are £400 from kw and only come with more expensive coilovers. You dont need them but I did find that on my last car the camber made cornering much more stable and gave me more confidence. You can just buy camber shims if you really want it but if you set it up wrong you will wear your tyres unevenly and nee new ones all the time...Jordi wrote:I have heard camber bolts and top mounts being mentioned but no idea on if I need them/If they come in the kit?

Re: What alloys and coilovers?
I have some JOM coilovers for sale cam off my GTI but the add says it will fit any 9n polo its in the for sale section if your interested with more info
Re: What alloys and coilovers?
Nah not after them, just wondered what they were and whether I needed them? Just want to make sure that the kit I buy has everything in, in able for me to fit them. Don't want to be buying other things on top, costing me more than I originally thought.Mr Blobby wrote:They dont come with those kits, top mounts are £400 from kw and only come with more expensive coilovers.
