Where to by new dampers/shocks?

Hi Guys, Ok, have had my H&Rs 25/40s installed for well over a year now and I've replaced 2 of the OEM shockers (leaking), same place, left rear. Mismatch I would assume with the springs. Looking at someplace in the UK to find the best price for proper sports dampers, such as Koni FSD or Bilstei...

Re: Show me your 17" wheel setups

I have a set of Sparco Assetto Gara wheels 17X7.5, ET35 on 25/40 H&R springs. No scrub issues with Federal 595 EVO tyres at 215/40/17. :mrgreen:
Oh....Having a Whiteline sway bar also helps.

Re: New member from OZ - Polo GTI Pics

Thanks for the comments guys, I will try to answer some of your questions: 1. Yes, I have a rear sway bar made by Whiteline and yes, it's worth the cash as it gives the car more stability around tight corners. 2. I didn't lower the car myself as I don't have a workshop or the right tools for the job...

Re: New member from OZ - Polo GTI Pics

Thanks Guys,

Appreciate the feedback.

I used Plastidip (matte black) for the badges and wing mirrors, a lot cheaper than buying new covers that's for sure. You can add a Glosifier, if you want them slightly shiny.

The xenon headlights were an option here in OZ, the standard ones are halogen.
