UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Hi,

I'm thinking of lowering my Polo by 60mm, but i dont know if it will be low enough, so dont know whether to purchase coilovers. Please can you send me pics of ur polo's lowered 60mm to help me decide.
Thanks

if ur buyin just springs go 60mm, i have that an i find it lower enuf but if ur gettin colies then u cud drop it more if u wanted it really slammed.

what size alloys will ur car be on? if its 15s or 16s then 60mm should be low enough!!

Piccys should help. Mines -60mm all round on a full jamex kit. The ronals are obviously 15's.









Here's one while we were half done. It shows how much of a difference -60mm makes.



You could go lower if you went for coilovers but depends how practical you want it to be. My bottom arms rub on the kerb if I park with 2 wheels on a pavement. Hope it helps and good luck.

Look at my sig below, thats 60mm

may be better with a pic without the grass Chris, it does seem to make the car look even lower than it actually is!!

Cheers guys!
I have got 15's on at the moment, and am dropped 40mm, but want to go lower!
I looked at coilovers, but they seem to be rather expensive for a student!!
Just spreayed my rear lights today, will post some pics soon!

I know, but on that pic it looks higher than on concrete...strange ey?

Ill post one up laters anyway

thats just freaky mate

mine are 60mm front and 40mm rear

might put the rear lower

what you guys think?

I would go for 60 mm mate its low enough to be driven comfortably without rolling or anything:)

How much is it to lower it anyway?

Is it just a case of buying new springs and fitting them yourself?

RR Livi, go the same all round man.

and 60mm ona spring kit is just about comfortable, if u were able 2 go lower on springs, u wud most likely feel every crack on the road never mind bump, colies solve that problem im sure or at least help for wen u wanna go lower.

get yourself a set of coil-overs mate
you'll regret getting -60mm springs if you want to get rid of that gap between the tyre and arch

-Ben-

only dependin on what size rims u get with the springs, get 16's an that will fill the gap
