got some coilies 4 the car now, just wondering....
i've heard you can only go down a max of like 80mm ish cos the driveshaft hits on the anti roll bar. any way to solve this?

I have different droplinks to change the angle of the arb so it doesn't hit off the shafts.
That way I keep the arb
Probably one of the best handling polo's on the road as it's got a brace too!
