UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

hello all

i'm thinking of lowering my gti (it needs it, cos i can probably fit my head in the gap). i lowered my previous mk2 golf 35mm, and it made the handling superb, but also not too low for driving over bumps etc.

my questions are:

how low can i go on the polo, without compromising general driveability on bumpy roads and over speed bumps etc?

what kits would you recommend?

any help much appreciated folks

For general driving i would recommend 50mm - 80mm.. 80mm is pretty much perfect height, leaves a tiny gap in the arch.

yup -70m plus is about right

Hello
In my polo is 60/40 kit H&R. I lowered polo about 3 years ago and I drived with this kit about 50k miles. It's very good kit and him quality is very high. My next kit will be H&R too

Im about 70mm down on H&R coilovers with my winter 16's on but let the warm weather come and it'll be lowered more on the schmidts!!

Moynas you got any pics of thre car -70mm?

Phil is your car lowered 50mm

moynas, what do you think of your
H&R Coilovers ?

Ill put some pics up 2mo when ive cleaned her up a bit, does sit low!!

H&R coilovers are AWESOME easy to fit and adjusted

Out of intrest does the Polo suffer from drive shaft rubbage?
The Lupo GTI O/S drive shaft hits the chassis if you lower the car past about 80mm, and the non GTI hits at around 100mm.
