Polo GTI 6R H & R Lowering Spring Problems
Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2017 11:49 pm
Hi,
Fitted some H & R lowering springs to my 2011 polo gti, looks just perfect, Problem is the ride is terrible and the car bounces a lot over roads my other cars glide over.
Does anyone have any experience of using these, Really pissed off that H & R recommend these for the car and they are this rubbish
Options i am looking at :
Remove the H & R's and fit Eibach pro-kit springs, can get a set for £110, only lower the GTI 15mm at the front / 20mm at the rear, past experience on my 6n2 gti with eibachs is they are fine.
Remove the H & R's and Fit vw motorsport lowering springs, lowers car by 20-30mm, can get a set for £210, blurb says they have been calibrated to work with the std shocks, so should be fine, apparently they are made by Eibach.
Keep the H & R's and fit Koni shocks, looks like they will costs upwards of £500, The koni kit uses the same H & R springs i have, But wouldn't want to spend the money to find out they are not very good.
What should i do.
Thanks for looking / helping
