Do u have a part number for the lowering kit u got? And which site did u use to buy the kit from Germany?
Im looking to do the same to my car, 17" upgraded wheels are on the way so need to start lowering process. Your car looks much better with the kit, thanks for the help!

Can you please post up the link where you got these from? I've searched the web even with part no but can't really find anything? Are these not the VW Racing springs for the Polo GTI? Just wondered...

No they are different springs. The Polo GTI's lowering springs are 15mm than normal. You can buy the above part number from:

It's a reliable website and you won't find them cheaper elsewhere.

hi it all depends on the axel weight of your polo, this is available on the vw website or in the handbook, depending on the axel weight will depend on which springs to purchase.
