Coilovers which lower 20 - 120mm, will i need drop links?
Also, apart from road related issues are there any problems with going this low in a 2005 Polo 9n2?
Thanks
Conor

they go to about 70 - 90 really, the fronts go really low thats prbly why they rite 120 but usually u use the drop links to lift the arb so it doesnt bang. get the mondeo ones brand new they hardly cost much

Right, is there a more specific name than 'the mondeo ones'? Just i'm thinking there might be a few.
Thanks for your help

Sorry i'm new to coilovers. What do you mean by the arb? And what exactly does it prevent, is it vital i need these?
Thanks

ARB - Anti-Roll Bar. It's a bar that stretches across the bottom of your car that decreases body roll, when you lower your car you risk your ARB hitting your drive shaft.
If you have shorter drop links the ARB sits higher so it doesn't knock.

Coilovers have a different mounting point for the droplinks, if you don't go super low or swap your ARB, should be fine.

It depends on the coilovers though, they don;t all have them. Which ones are you referring to?

Mondeo droplninks are only slightly shorter than the standard polo ones....
