Just one question, why have you removed them?

personally i think it looks better, also makes your car lighter and therefore a faster polo

ive also done this to mine but just so i can put me bike in the back when im goin places, i really dont think the weight diff is that noticable, but the back end is more skittish, only really worth if you're goin the whole hog and doin the seats and dash etc.

im thinking of a rear strut brace now for better handling.

might be worth trying a front strut brace first if you haven't already, help cure the old understeer a bit?
