Hows the comfort?
I know the eibachs should be a very nice ride...

One thing i dont like thou, is how the rear wheels kind of push forward in the wheel arch, once you lower the polo.

Btw. Looks more like h&r'S 25/40mm drop

It's not bad, a little bumpier than I had realised last night.. Seems to be smoother on the motorway but worse around round. Not unbearable at all but definitely firmer (as you would expect).

Pretty sure it's a 20/30 drop, that's what I ordered anyway!

Will do, doubt they will go noticeably lower though. Can't stand cars which are 'slammed', personally think they look awful so I'm happy with these ones ;)

I believe these give a 25/40 drop on a standard polo but due to the gti suspension it only does 20/30 :) also very tempted by these. Looks really nice!

Ah yes you're right. Well I'm based in Guildford, Surrey if anyone wants a ride to see what they're like!

Well let me know if you want to see how they feel before getting some! I don't have the sports pack.

I got my dealer to give me the name of the boat my car was on and actually tracked the boat all the way to the UK and my local port where the car was delivered :lol:
