APs will give a much better ride. The the Hot tuning ones go ALOT lower than the AP ones at the back.

If its a daily driver then i'd spend the extra for a better ride. If the APs dont go low enough at the back, buy custom rear springs, they arent expensive.

I ran the amazing Exor as you know :twisted: and Ebay special coilues. they did the job, bouncy as f**k. but the handling was amazing too, except on a bumpy corner..

Front could go down another 15mm and rears were at the top :shock:

That polo was mad when fully lowered :mrgreen:

Heard mixed reviews myself, some say the TA Technix ones are pretty good. A guy on UK Polo's sells them for £250ish delivered. Not sure what ill do yet but more than likely save the extra cash for some AP's ;)

No, there at the top. so highest they will go.
when i had them on the bottom, front helpers out but still got rear adjuster in i was catching cats eyes with my sump. (after i ripped off under tray.

(this was on 16" raised slightly, after twating the sump and getting a bit scared. and so i could drive it without scraping.. lol)

(pre bodyshop) The lowest APs would go on the back but plently left to go on the front.
