UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Just seeing people's opinions on these as I know cheap coilovers tend to be a bit crap so what good springs and shocks combos are yous running or is there a decent set of coilovers out there? I could possibly save a bit more. Cheers.

Sorry I'll be fitting them so no worried bout fitting costs cheers.

Really depends what your trying to achieve. Lowness or handling. Slamming it on the deck doesn't mean it will handle like a dream. Brands such as FK and KW are good. Best to post in your specific car area and ask what others are running.

My opinion is that it depends how many miles a year you drive and whether you want to do track days or not.

I've had £250 German eBay coilovers on my car for about 4 years and they're fine (although I'm not sure I'd want to attempt to adjust them now). But I've probably only done 30k miles in that time. If you do 20k a year, or want to do track days, you should probably spend a bit more

I had expensive H&R coilovers on my Polo GTi and Fabia vRS, and these cheapo ones ride very similarly.

Cheers for the responses, I'm after better handling more than anything and a slight drop as polos look way too high in my opinion. Not into it being too low, use to have a civic slammed on shocks and springs (koni) handled amazing but was just a bit too low for speed bumps ect lol. Need a good compromise. tbh, mileage wise very little as gonna be a project car so wont be doing much driving till summer probs bout 8k a year max.

Cheers, Sean
