Hey guys, just wondering here, the opportunity has arisen for me to get my hands on a mk3 Polo, that I have wanted for a long time, but I have searched this forum, and also the web extensively, and can't seem to find anywhre that sells coilovers for a 1993 Mk3 Polo? Does anyone know if its possible to get coilovers for it, or is there any way of modifying coilovers from another year's Polo to fit?
I want to go really low with this, but don't really want to go down the shocks and springs route....
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i found some on ebay recently mate i was tempted by, bit pricey tho but they'll be other kits out there for sure and am guessin mk 2 stuff will fit as the chassis is the same basic design

Its all because of the suspension design. As the supension is made up of a suspension leg and inserts its not easy to combine them into full coilovers.
As far as i know theres only 3 options
1.FK? exchange kit, involves sending your suspension legs back to germany to be factory modified by FK (there is a surcharge extra)
2. Built your own kit using a custom coilover conversion kit from rally design (need to be a competent welder i'd say!)
3.The Gaz coilovers.I don't know very much about these kits, may be worth asking on clubpolo.co.uk/forum to see if anyone has tried a kit on there?

PhilJ from club polo does cheap coilovers for MK3's (Mk1/2/3 - £550 (FK Highsports) not sure if hes on here or not.
get yourself over to ClubPolo and look in the Jackson tuning bit!
