APs will give a much better ride. The the Hot tuning ones go ALOT lower than the AP ones at the back.
If its a daily driver then i'd spend the extra for a better ride. If the APs dont go low enough at the back, buy custom rear springs, they arent expensive.

I ran the amazing Exor as you know

and Ebay special coilues. they did the job, bouncy as f**k. but the handling was amazing too, except on a bumpy corner..
Front could go down another 15mm and rears were at the top
That polo was mad when fully lowered

Heard mixed reviews myself, some say the TA Technix ones are pretty good. A guy on UK Polo's sells them for £250ish delivered. Not sure what ill do yet but more than likely save the extra cash for some AP's

No, there at the top. so highest they will go.
when i had them on the bottom, front helpers out but still got rear adjuster in i was catching cats eyes with my sump. (after i ripped off under tray.
(this was on 16" raised slightly, after twating the sump and getting a bit scared. and so i could drive it without scraping.. lol)

(pre bodyshop) The lowest APs would go on the back but plently left to go on the front.
