For those who are lowered

Post by J-O »

Hi all,

Now I only have ridiculous Apex Springs on my Polo...it is lowered 35mm.

I already ordered the KW Variante 2...hope I'll receive them soon...can't wait anymore :roll:

My question was: If any of you got their car lowered more than 50mm, did you had problem with the chassis? And do the wheels touches something?
Hopefully I could get the front down a bit, the Lumma skirt is quite high...but at the but I won't try too much, cause it's already enough low...

And do you suggest that I get some strut brace or it's not necessary?

thanx alot!

come to annecy some time and i might let you have a go in mine shes lowered 70&60mm with upper and lower front strut braces and belive me the front upper makes a huge difference but the front lower only helps to stop the tail wagging under heavy braking oh and the v2`s arnt as hard as everyone says
on current drop ive absolutly crusified my arch liners :D

ok.....just a question...where's Annecy? (I'm Canadian, so France is still unknowned for me :? )...
I think once the car is lowered more I'll look for the stud braces.
