You all drop your car using coilovers or what u reckon o just springs or springs and dampners?

coilovers really worth the extra money and the weight

yer looks good! still looks quite up off the ground tho but you notice the drop more inbetween the wheel and the arch!

thats a 30mm drop is it? can u go any lower than that using your standerd shocks?

Don't forget though mate the GTi is about 15mm lower than the standard Polo's meaning that it's the equivelant of a 65mm drop with 50mm springs.

Well the GTi is lower than the lesser model MK5's I know that much so in theory it should sit lower than the other models with lowering springs.
