Hi, I am interested too. They look good and the price is very reasonable. Thinking of dropping my polo. Anyone can give a quick comment on whether this will fit or any good for a polo 9N3? Much appreciated.

Does anyone know if the coilovers in the link above are good? Anyone know anything about them? Are they worth it?

I think these will be rebadged jamex ones or similar, very basic and probably not much better than lowered springs and standard shocks but adjustable. I've heard the jamex ones ride very hard but are otherwise ok.
I'm selling the FK ones, brand new in a box for £329 posted. most people on here would recommend the extra £90 for the FKs.

hummmm...interested...
...is it just a case of unbolting the old mcphersons, attaching the new coilovers using a spring compresser and then sorting out camber settings etc?

yeah you can do it this way, might be easier to take out the strut and swap over the top mounts. not sure.
if the front strut is seized in the bottom clamp then it will be a right pain. Took me about 3 hours per side to do!
other than that it's easy. you'll need spring compressors for the rear as well, but it's a lot easier.
