Righty, had my coilies fitted today along with my turbos, but I have a problem. If i brake whilst turning on uneven ground, a knocking noise comes from the front of the car. I think it may be the driveshafts, but I'm hoping someone else who has an equally low car would be able to help me out! What's the problem and how do i fix it?!
{PS, hope you like the car!

Looks great mate!

You want to talk to Speedlaw, he runs a 6n with RT's and Coilovers (LOW!).

im liking your polo mate

i can't say i suffer with this knocking noise, though i do get a strange sound if i turn the steering wheel too far, which is probably just rubbing.

Mines' a 1.4 8v, but is suppose it could still be that! The coilovers are fk highsports, and they're wound down fully to 85mm at the front, so could it be that they're hitting the bumpstops?
