Gonna buy some coilovers off ebay and i'm getting 15inch lenso's and just wondering how low should i drop her?

as low as you dare , them ebay coilovers tend to be properly hard , had to get rid of mine after about a year in favour of some nice kws lol

cheers mate but i'm on a tight budget so for now the cheapy coilovers will do
i'll get photos up on the car in the next couple of weeks once i get lenso's bsx and the polo well and truely slammed it deserves it lol atm its got black sprayed wheel trims haha mint!

on serious note depends on the engine to some degree the diesel engines tend to sit lower than the petrol ones. i could of had my car right down on my ebay coils only thing that stopped me was the sump being so close to the floor

I see thanks i'd need to take that into consideration since i've burst the sump before lol i was being a wee P**** doing 60 on a backroad and didn't see a bump and whack lol augh im also wondering would it be better to get 15inch lenso's bsx or does 16's make it look nicer ?

well theres my polo on its old ebay coils and with the standard "16s to give you some kind of idea

15's imo are too small for the mk6 cos the arches are huge. Get 15's and your gunna have to run some huge tyre to get rid of arch gap. The only coilies ive seen get really low is the ebay specials, but the ride aint the best. The coilies ive got might not go as low as the Hot Tuning ones at the back but its a good ride. Im just having to order short rear springs for the back coilies (but alot of people are having the same problem with the ride height at the back)

OoOooo u can go all the way on the bak n if u take the ajuster out it goes lower, the front ruffly halfway is pretty low ive got the cheap ebay ones an all there stiff as anythin compared to ma brothers FK but they do the job.

Mine with 17`s on Eibach Pro Street coilovers, Adjusters still in the back and 30mm left on the front

16`s look much better than 15`s

Cheers for the advice
I bought the ebay uk1tuner coilovers lol 2 year warrenty and you can drop her from 20-120mill will do the job for now
Bought a sportex exhaust off a mate
im gonna go for the 16in's lenso's bsx not sure if i should go for the silver one's or the black one's and its gonna empty my pocket but it will be worth it lol
after this i need fog lights, german plates,tinted windows, a suntrip and a mint dub sticker
