You all drop your car using coilovers or what u reckon o just springs or springs and dampners?
coilovers really worth the extra money and the weight

Don't forget though mate the GTi is about 15mm lower than the standard Polo's meaning that it's the equivelant of a 65mm drop with 50mm springs.

Well the GTi is lower than the lesser model MK5's I know that much so in theory it should sit lower than the other models with lowering springs.
