you don't want to lower the car so that the front wishbones are inverted, this creates bump steer, which many people who are 'slammed' mistake for good handling. Bump Steer has nothing to do with the Angle of the Wishbones, it all relates to the angle of the steering arms If you drop the car a LONG...

They look ace. Are you just upgrading the fronts? Do the GTI brakes as standard honestly need upgraded or are they totally fine as they are? If so, i take it this is for the pimp factor?? 8) No at all. Standard GTi brakes are crap. The upgrade improves braking greatly, just the way it should of bee...

The Polo GTI is about the same as the 1.8T Mk4 Golf's and will beat most Mk4 GTI's!. It won't beat the anniversary or the Mk5 polo Gti nearly as quick as golf gti 1.8t you wish! Check the specs on p1. Golf is 8.2, Polo is 8.4. Not exactly a huge difference :wink: yes I am fully aware of what the on...

I would of thought not as the 6n 16v is different to the 6n2 16v. The 1.6 16v fitted to foreign spec 6n's is a different engine and produces 120bhp instead of the 6n2's 125bhp. Though i couldn't tell you the differance. I do know it uses a different clutch though... 6n gti run a distributor, 6n2 do...
