VW Polo MKIV Raceland Coilover Fitting
what you need on the 6n is a 4 wheel allignment not just tracking and toe in / out
i fitted springs and dampers to mine not realising this and ate a set of tyres i got quoted £80 for a 4 wheel set up yet had it done for £20
a new set of tyres cost £70 for the front so dont skimp on this and get it set it will also be the final tweak to your moded set up i am however considering these raceland coilies ! were they of ebay ? pretty good price ! ay
ps great write up

Re: VW Polo MKIV Raceland Coilover Fitting
Fitted my coilovers and have come across a problem. The front two are not sitting properly inside the engine bay mounting plates. They are bottoming out. The top plate is already touching the underside rubber mount and wont sit properly. It sits about 10mm above. Has anyone had this problem. If they have what did they do to overcome this problem

Re: VW Polo MKIV Raceland Coilover Fitting
Looking at fitting coilovers to my mates 6N at the end of the week.
From what I understand camber can be set up roughly with a spirit level as the holes are slotted. But what’s this about the toe needing adjustment surely this should remain unaffected?
