It's not really much of a considerable drop, so no I wouldn't think so.

so you reckon if i get 60mm springs and uprated shocks it should be ok and not a harsh ride? phil j on club polo does a set for £120 but it only has uprated rear shocks :S do only rear ones need to be replaceD? no idea

No they don't.

It's a full set of uprated shocks and springs. As for the ride; don't expect a great ride for £120 :lol:

Any uprated shock and spring set will ride worse than standard. A lot less body roll and a more sporty ride totally compensates for the hard ride.
