anyone give some advice on a suspension kit to lower my 1.9tdi about 40mm? springs , fullkit or coilovers??????????

I recommend Eibach Sport-System fullkit. It lowers 45-50mm front and 30-35mm rear. For more information click here!

That don´t make your car look like it´s about to fly like many kits with equal lowering in front and rear. To see my car with Sport-System click here and here.

i did apex springs by 40mm and it sits nicely on 17s. but a little too high for my liking on 15s

btw, does yours rub? and where do they rub?

u on 215/45/17 rite?

only on proper full lock to the left when going up on the drive.

the screws in the arch lining caught, but i just took em out and they are fine.

im on 195/45/15 for a few months now tho

i thought 17s were good for handling! but these are amazing! im takin some corners 20mph faster now

dont suppose u can take a pic of the area it rubs? (on 215/45/17 when it rubbed btw?

im considering some -50mm up front

cheers

Hi all,

I am thinking about buying a new set of wheels for my polo and also want to get the car lowered. I have been looking at some pics from a german website and really fancy a set of wide 16's and getting the car as low as possible. I was therefore wondering if anybody could give me some advice on the best way to do this. I don't want to spend a fortune.

Any advice would be grate. I know that coil overs are probably the way to go,but would like to hear from those of you who have had springs fitted.

Cheers,

Andy

arron, run your hand along the inside of your arch and you will feel small screws holding the lining in place (the black plastic which stops all the s**t going inside the chasis)
i just took 2 on each front arch out. il get some pics if i can tho


andrewg450...

this is my car dropped 40mm on 17's and then on 15's. 16's will sit somwhere in between. hope that helps.
my opinion, if running 17s 40-50mm springs will do fine. if the rims are going to be smaller i would go for coilovers
