Lowering spring by VW

Post by Le_Combattant »

By surfing on internet and on ahw-shop I found that VW offer a lowering spring kit for the Polo 6C
with different part number to match different axial load.

Mine is a:
-870 kg at the front
and
-800 kg at the rear

So the ideal kit for me should be the 6R0071677.

It can lower the car of 25-30mm and it's seems to be a good compromise between confort and look.
With his current and stock springs, Polo 6C looks like a 4x4, even more at the rear. The gap between the wheel and arch is massive.

For information, I have 16" Portago wheel.

But I have few questions:

How is the ride quality with those spring on the stock absorber ? Not too bouncy ?
Also, do you think my local dealer could accept to install them on my car ?

If you have some pictures to illustrate, I will be happy to check them :wink:

Have a great day !

Isn't that the same as eibach prokit E10-85-024-01-22? If so, it is a great set that combines comfort with lowering. A big plus is that you can use standard shock absorbers for them, although I recommend bilstein b6 35-168560 for them. You can put them on, you will surely be very pleased :D. Currently, I only have the back on the Eibach prokit -30. In a few months there will be a complete eibach + bilstein b6 sport.

It's not impossible because the springs of VW are manufactured by...Eibach 8) So maybye they are the same or VW with Eibach designed special springs for the 6C, I don't know.
In every case I will keep my stock shock absorbers. Even after 84000 km they still fine.

I thought to put some kit from bilstein but...too expensive in comparison of the car. It's still a 66kw car...not a sport's one :mrgreen:

I have to replace the shock absorbers so I chose bilstein b6. I only have 55kW, but I think the stiffer suspension will not be in - only in + :D
