you wont get anyrubbing, unless your tyres are ridiculous...
ppl drop these polos down 100mm and only have minor issues sometimes, so yours should be a doodle, and no MOT fails either so dont worry


funny enough i have a set of 40mm springs for sale, not looking for much just what i paid, plus postage bud
so say £40 plus i can get a price for postage for you?
think the springs Pi make if thats any use

well no was wanting it to look low bum at least so i can get over speed bumps and put up with pot holes. live in country side so. was thinking maby a 40mm drop but not sure what that look like. dont wanna spend alot of money on say coilovers just want springs. i am right in thinking 40mm drop i wont have to change shocks??

them springs have they ever been used ??

springs have never been used, as i bought them brand new off a girl who crashed her polo before even fitting, and hence my project with the polo has ceased as too many problems with it...
so yea brand new.. also have few other bits if you need them, from a 6n 16v 5 door polo, still got rear bumper aswell, if you want a few things posted etc

and yea you could technicly use origianl shocks etc on any lowering springs, just youd have a pure jelly ride so ppl reccommmend around 60mm drop max before really you should change the shocks etc

if youv got spring compressors then you can even fit them urself, like i mentioned in another recent post on here

good luck and let me know cheers
