UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I am saving up and gonna use a bit of my University Loan to invest in lowering and possibly purchasing some alloys.

I dont know much about springs, and im sure this is probably raised b4 in the forum but i will mention it anyway.

I have been told i should lower the front of my mk4 35mm and back 40mm. Is this a good size to lower it by i dont even know how would look.

Also along with the springs would i also need to change the shocks. I have read somewhere that i may get away with the standard ones, but will they be significant drawbacks in things such as the ride quality?

Thirdly, i am someone who likes to do something myself. rather than pay others to do, probably just stingy But how hard is it to change the springs?

forthly, the springs, i want some that are as cheap as chips yet of a decent standard.

Now onto alloys. Im looking for 15 - 16in alloys. i know i need 4 stud 1s. But then there is things like offset e.t.c. What is this for a polo mk4/6n and there are also other few bits and bobs. any1 know these? cheers

the 35-40mm will be fine with 15s if u use 195/45 tyres, get an offset of 38-43 in the rims, also i would recommend upgrading the shocks!

iv mine lowered 60mm and handles like a dream and looks superb, but the 40 will be more than enough mate! get on ebay for a set of springs!

yep 195/45/15 look good
-40mm doesnt have to have upgraded shocks, i know ppl who are running -60mm on standard shocks..

Mine is sitting on 16inch alloys with a 35mm drop on eibach springs. It looks lush AND
