don't the 6n ones fit the 6n2? ring up the company that is advertising them and ask them?

Dont think so. The rear ones do but the fronts dont, or vice versa i think it is!

Hello
Yes the 6n and 6n2 use the same rear springs. The front ones do not. On the 6n the front springs cup mount is smaller, as i found out

. What i did do to the first set i had was pull them out a bit with some heat to fit the 6n2 top cup.
Then i took them off and put some 50mm on (6n2 ones) as the 30mm wasnt low enough.
Neil.

The only one I've seen advertised is on
Awesome GTI's website. Go to the Polo 6n2 pages, click on Suspension and there is a Koni kit listed about halfway down, for £310.
Cheers

You'll need coilovers then, really.

Nope, There's suspension kits around offering a drop up to -60mm.
