Which coilovers for MY09 TDi?
Which coilovers for MY09 TDi?
Hello.
What are my options with regards to lowering on my 2009 Polo 1.4 TDi. Ideally would like coilovers but not sure what springs/shocks are about for my car. I've looked on ebay etc but it mentions 6n, 9n which I have no clue which they are. I guess mine is a 9n3.
What are recommended, and how much am I looking at? Not too clued up on Polo suspension kits, came from a Clio background and know that they ranged from cheap sets at £180ish up to £1k for AST.
Also, I am after an alloy wheel configurator as I am looking at buying some lime green Rota's once suspension is done.
Cheers, Jordi.
Edit - with regards to springs, would something like these fit mine ?

Yes your polo will be a 9N3, so you will need to look at ones for that model,
Mine is lowered on FK Higsport Coilovers, which give it a little bit of spring too, and there middle of the road price, but there are some budget ones on ebay,
heres a quick link to some that will fit

Yeah that's sound. Says they go low as 100mm so definately low enough!
Do you have any photos of yours lowered on these?

Looks real smart that, mate. I guess it's not all the way down? Also, do those on yours fit all models, or are the ones you linked me for TDi only?
Do you know how much I would be looking at for fitting? Is fitting coilovers any more difficult than changing springs/shocks?

Sorry for not replying for ages, have been on holiday, erm no they should fit all models for the 9n3 I think, no mine aren't all the way down due to driving 35 miles each way to work daily haha, but these were already fitted when I bought it, but they shouldn't be hard to fit, but there has to be a guide somewhere on here it your stuckJordi wrote:Looks real smart that, mate.

Here is mine on AP Coilovers The rear somewhat don't go as low as the FK's but I am pretty happy with my right height. Scrubs a bit on the front but need to sort of the tyres....
The fronts still have 40mm of thread left.......

I have actually fitted a mini aerial , forgot to mention it. Lol. On in the pic above.
Yeah, do you think I'll need spacers on when the coilovers are on with my standard 15's?
