New member, a few questions

Robbieben · Post by **Robbieben** » Sat Jan 13, 2007 6:24 pm

Hi everyone, this is actually my wife's car, she wants it looking smart and I'm prepared to do a few mods to make it that way as I'm car daft myself.
I currently own an Astra VXR running around 300Bhp at present

Car is a Polo 1.9TDi Sport

I have just recently fitted a digital tuning box from www.dieseltuninguk.com, the box has given a fantastic increase in power so:
1 what uprated brakes can be fitted to the car?
2 will larger Golf wheels fit straight on?
3 uprating suspension and lowering, suggestions please.

Thanks

The wife's Polo

And my VXR

nice cars

i can give you an answer to the 2nd question.
Yes, golf mk4 wheels will fit straight on... all the way up to 19" if you are brave.... the current style golf wheels wont however.

Welcome to the site!

awesome-gti.co.uk have porsche uprated brakes (look under golf mk4) which are fairly cheap. If not a decent set of discs/pads and brake fluid should do.

As previously said golf mk4 wheels fit, just make sure you have the right offset and tyre size.

Suspension wise any damper/spring set from a good manufacturer should do. just match the drop to you wheel size really

This is smaller than original 256.

Did you mean something bigger?

Think I saw that on autotrader. Did you find it off there?

That aside, beautiful car(s). Hard to avoid the VXR, what a monster hehe

Had any VXR Smiles? (as in totally whooped any other cars in a small *SAFE* race).
