It will if I take the adjusters out, just not had the balls to do it yet lol, it doesnt rub at the mo and I have to put my tool box in the boot quite often too. Gona see what I can do when I get a chance though, and i'll set the dampers to the max stiffness whilst im at it :D

Most people have to get the adjusters out to get the height right. Not just for Polos either.

I need to on mine. Not done it yet though.

Lol the adjusters are at maximum low!! I'll go kill some hookers and put them in the boot and go for another photoshoot :lol:

I'm gona try removing the top peice of the adjuster when I get a chance and then go from there. I think removing the lot will be tyre on arch or very close. Apparently you can stretch 195/40/16's onto the 9's at the rear but i'll save that for the final solution lol its a Daily afterall and I didnt buy a diesel for no reason.

As for the wheels mate, the rears are 16x9 et 28 running 205/40/16's and the fronts are 16x7.5 et 25 running 205/40/16's soon the be 195's :D

Trouble is the TDIs have low sumps.

Maybe I'm too old but I'm bored of scraping over bumps....

195/45s are better than 40s for me.

How does it handle? Understeer at all?

I plan on a rear whiteline ARB to get mine a little more neutral. It handles very well now but could be up there with my Corrados or Golfs if tweaked.

I dont think the sump would be too vunrable on the 9n, but I dont fancy buying a new one as it dont look like its gona be cheap lol.

I've been there and done that with silly low cars, this was my old golf, the subframe would ground out on country lanes with slight camber, and the sump and dents in it lol

Oh and I cooked a rabbit on the exhuast 8) it smelt foul lol
