UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

I’ve just fitted some 15'' rims on my polo 1.4 8v. Now it looks like a tractor, I wanna fit some lowering springs bit I don’t know how low I should go. I still want the car to be drivable so I don’t want to lower it that much as around my area their loads of road humps.

Best thing imo is so that the wheel arch it level with the top of your tyre. All depends on the size of your tyre too.

60mm springs/shocks should sit nicely,some nice coilys on ebay at the moment,shouldnt cause too much grief.

done mine by 40mm it looks gd, but needs to be much lower for the true euro look. 40mm make is fit the arches. and with a few people in my car it looks well low

i would go for coilys as well. does anyone who how low you can possibly go before its sitting on the wheels lol? i would love to try coilover on there lowest setting

whats up people im new to this site, so be kind cheers. i've got a polo diesel with 15" wolfrace octane's 6.5 * 15 i wanna drop it 50mm just wanna know if its gonna rub or not. thanks

i have 15's porsche teledials and mine has been dropped 40mm, and with a full car mine doesnt rub, so i would have a guess yours shouldnt. but then i think my rims arent quite as wide as yours.

just try it and find out it will look dam good anyway

Got any pics of your car mate?

Quite fancy some Octane's

without creating a new thread hopefully someone can answer my question-

I need to drop mine too real soon. Im thinking 50mm drop on 15"s.
Whats better buy some coilovers or just buy some springs?

Many Thanks!!
