If you had between £400 - £500 to spend on a modification/s what would everyone recommend?

H&R supersport. These are the lower version and make it sit sweet.

Part number is 28974-2.
Get them on eBay for around £120.

Comfort is same as oem, car is stiff anyway. I changed only springs, about 20mm drop.

Thanks for the info Jerry. I haven't received my car yet - is should be about a month left for it to arrive. I hope i dont need to get it lowered... But I guess it is a must have modification if the ride comfort is not altered greatly. Jerry, is your car equipped with the sports select suspension? I ordered the Polo GTI without this option. I guess ride comfort is little firmer (at normal setting) with the non sport select suspension.

Hi,
The sports select option definitely makes the suspension feel firmer but not back breaking.
i picked mine up a week ago and like yoi questioned about lowering it.
I'm going to give it 6 months and then consider what mods (if any) i chuck at the car, at the moment I'm just enjoying it a lot as standard.

My one is without it. I was already planning to install sport exhaust instead of speaker and ride is really very stiff with it, what I don't like, ideal for German autobahn only [emoji3] height and ride is fine after VWR springs.

Here's my wife's oryx white with H&R supersport springs (the low ones)
They've been on two weeks and she's insisting I take em off and return to standard. Too stiff she reckons.

£100 if anyone wants them.

So this is my Polo GTI.
Cheers.

I like that; evolutionary rather than radical, which is the way VW tends to develop it's next generation models.

Yep ..have to say I'm convinced. Love the wheels on the new GTI. Days are numbered for my 2015 model . [emoji6]
