Not sure how much it's lowered but helper springs are taken out the front, and wound down but have about an inch more to go, i have adjustable drop links on the front which help the drive shaft keep away from the chassis so i can go so much lower, the back has adjusters taken out so fully down.
I have TA Technic coilovers (the cheap ones) they were for 9N/6R models hence the reason for new drop links.
Wheels are 16'' 8J Et25 (Tyre size 195/45/16)

Fk highsports..
Front: all the way down no helpers.. was sat on bumpstops so cut them in half to.
Back: no adjuster in and bumpstops also cut down.
Wheels are 17x7.5j et 46 all round mercedes Segins.. 20mm adapter on front and 30mm on the back.
cannot go any lower, unless i get air
no need for drop links as stated above

Am I the only person who thinks that extreme lowering of cars is idiotic?

For car shows i'm all for stance, that is why coilovers gives you the freedom to adjust as you require - i too agree that the slammed look for a daily drive is a tad bit idiotic, currently my car is lowered and i have an inch gap between all 4 wheels - i'm happy with "my" stance and i can still drive comfortably as well.
but for what it is - these pics of the polo's are awesome

I personally don't like it, but I see no reason to knock someone who does. It's their car, not yours.
And the quality of work done by members of this forum is far higher than the majority of people lowering their cars.
