I'm using FK Konisport coilovers. Rear down as much as it can go with adjusters in but adjuster rings removed. Also using Seat rubber top hats as they are 10mm shorter.
Front has about 5-8 turns left with helper springs still on

As for difference from std I have no idea.

Hope that helps

Thanks for your help. I really want to get springs, im sick of my coilovers lol i just dont want to buy springs and discover ive got them too high or too low thats the only problem and the price difference ofcourse !

Unless you're buying shocks and springs, it's not advisable to go lower than 40mm on standard shocks. I think it's always harder to get something sitting as perfect as you want on springs.

Which is why im researching and checking out pics of other polos everyday!...i might end up doing 40mm all round...do you think thats okay on 17's? i just want to shorten the gap between tyre and arch but not kill it off 100%.....have some gap but not too much.....

im guessing they sold in the end?
