Re: Need to raise my 1.2TSI as much as possible
No, use springs from 1.6 tdi.
And how come you cant buy new springs, if you can buy the car in your country, and parts in the parts store ( not VW) you can get sasch springs they are pretty cheap. 30$ for a one spring. Often new csn be cheaper than use
Keep your own struts they will work.
No ...

Re: Need to raise my 1.2TSI as much as possible
Use springs from diesel to compensate for extra weight.
Looking at the Sachs catalogue, the Polo 1.2 Cross spring is the same part # as the standard diesel spring (the cross diesel uses a stiffer spring still)
Sadly, aftermarket springs are not available in Aus for the 6R polo, genuine only ...

Re: Need to raise my 1.2TSI as much as possible
Any luck with the sump guard?
We're looking for one for a 9N3 GTI and I can't seem to find anyone who will do it in AU.

I got the dimensions as I was going to get it shipped to family in the UK and then ...

I did wonder about the cross suspension. I think it's 15mm higher than standard?
Do you know if it bolts straight up? I assume I'd need springs and ...

Need to raise my 1.2TSI as much as possible
I'm in Australia and recently picked up a cheap 2011 1.2TSI for myself and my daughter to compete in Motorkhana/Khanacross (racing around a field for those not familiar).
My Polo apparently had the Sports Pack fitted from new (lowered suspension, front fogs and 17" rims) but it's currently running ...
