How to lower my Polo?

Thats what my friend told me too. How would it "wear out"? I mean what's the effect after that stage then.

OH and this "friend" of mine mentioned something about the G-max spring/shock kits for like Â£300. Any good?

I wanna know that too - but my dealer doesn't know.

I think I wanna get some springs for now - no money for the whole thing. You gettin' yours lowered?

Well if you find out - let me know mate - you wanna swap your shocks with some VW ones? i.e. some "better" sports ones?

If I was you I wouldn't go for VW sport shocks.

I use them combined with H&R -35 mm springs and it hits the bumpstops frequently. And that's not a nice feeling, it's a rough bang. So I don't know how it's possible to lower the car 50 mm without changing the bumpstops.

If you want to do a proper lowering of the car, go for Eibach pro-kit springs and Bilstein Sprint shocks. That would cost you about 400-500 Â£.

That's what I'm gonna fit within some time.
