Looks REALLY good and the handling went from stock polo to heaven...

good, then I can do a 2 stage upgrade then. the down side from what I have read is that the upstroke of the damper is sharper, giving a bouncier ride, changing the dampers as well will correct that.

how can it be smooth? i thought upgrading springs only meant that it was a bouncy ride....?

Here´s the situation; the company that was supposed to install the suspension kit today couldn´t get the dampers from Eibach (guess they order everything from the manufacturer instead of keeping stock?) because the dampers were sold out or something. Strange if you ask me!
Damn! Now I´ll have to wait another two weeks.

Okey, so now I´ve had the Eibach Sport-system for a while and I have to say the car feels absolutely great.
As driving normally you just cannot tell much of a difference but it´s not a bouncy ride at all. Taking corners is like driving on rail, if you know what I mean. So the Sportline springs and pro-dambers really work together and the ride is smooth as silk like Vilus told before
.
This is how my Polo looks like now:
