Lowering Kits

Can anybody tell me if lowering spring and shock kits on the market for the Polo 9n will fit the new Polo 9n2 GTI. Lots of kits for the 9n listed by manufacturers but nothing listed for the 9n2 GTI.


Thanks

My Polo GTI

Hi, newbie here. Thought I would post up some pics of my GTI. Had it for about 5 months now, loving it. Only a few mods uptil now, Forge dump valve, K+N panel filter, PD 160 intake and Seat strutbrace. Looking at lowering it soon and new rims. http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e76/BLUEPOLO/VWPoloGTI...
