GTI is lowered by 15mm over the standard polo from factory

Wheels - Team dynamic pro race 1.2 17x7.5 with 215/40/17 yokohama parada spec 2 rubber

Ride is firm but not back breaking, round corners it instantly put a smile on my face feels alot better and should of come from the factory like this imo!!!

Defo one of the first mods that need doing.

Did you upgrade the shocks with those springs or leave it standard? Would it even make much of a difference changing the shocks?

whats the comfiest lowered setup to get??

Also the best wheel ofset? some of these sit nicely snug just under the arch...i dont want it flush to the arch or coming out

Think the gti shocks are slightly uprated than the standard ones, wouldnt bother doing the shocks because you might aswell get coilovers!! im going to move to coilvers soon, ap coilovers or weitec look good

dont go for them! you wont like the bounce lol...go for something with with a shortened body which really gives a better ride and also this new upside down technology which is normal while in a straight line but makes the damper really stiff around a bend so awesome handling!

oooohh i didnt know about ones like this..... what brands have this technology? with the shortened body would be good! all sounds exciting but im thinking my bank account will be in a mood with me after

Running on H&R Monotube (low version)

the front hasn't been lowered as much as id like due to high speed bump area's where i live but the back is brill just need some spacers now !

i dont know what them ones are like but the price and FIVE YEAR WARRANTY is intriguing lol

ALSO...wouldnt shortened body coilovers mean having to force the leg to fit in? im confused lol
