UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

My coilies have arrived from jackson tuning off club polo! quick delivery time! i'm well impressed! I went to the garage today though and the guy was saying that I probably can't go that low as the front springs are so wide? and will rub on my tyres? i'm hoping this isnt the case as I have 7" RM's on the front!



i have the right kit? right?

yeah thats the right kit

exactly6 the same as the ones that went on my bros ibiza

is there anything missing? this is all i got, i know the c spanner has vanished but phil is currently getting his supplier to send another..what a ledge!

Are there any loose bits that come with them? the box wasnt in a great state

Yup,

Mine wasn't packaged very well either, just a box really, soon as i picked the box up it fell apart, and i all i got was a c spanner, i don't think there was any paper work, but you would need that to claim on warranty etc.

Everyting is there mate, all your missing is the C spanners, and go get some wax or copper grease, and get them greased up to prevent Sizure,

On the FK's i bought and all there rest. the front springs are the same as the rear ones, Same shape in the Pic that are on the rear of yours, so there is no Problem with Lowness.

Never seen them like that before!

yep thats everything you need there, before you fit them, take all the springs off and plaster the threads in copper grease....i used a paintbrush, that seemed to be easier than hands, and less messy lol. dont be affraid to slap loads on, its better than not enough and kno one sees them anyway. this is a cheap kit and WILL rust and seize up if you dont. as for the front springs, dont worry about lowering, my hoops are 8j and im this low............

that looks awesome! a guy from vw is fitting them for me next weekend, i'll tell him to grease them up good!

haha cool. dont forget your tracking after aswell

he said something along the lines of because he's replacing them the tracking & camber will be left the same so wont be needed?

er no.....thats rubbish. your supposed to get your tracking done everytime you adjust the height of your coilies, although i never do lol.i can pretty much guarantee your tracking will be out after they are fitted though...
