Coilovers from £445 for Mk1 Mk2 Mk3 Polo 86 86c 2F Coupe GT G40 Breadvan

Due to the combined hub and strut setup on the earlier polos, coilovers basically aren’t cheap like other models. The struts require custom machining to shorten the strut, lower the steering arm to keep the geometry as close to stock as possible. This is the case with the custom Gaz coilovers lower in the thread, but recently TA have introduced their own line without the need for a strut exchange.

I had some input with the setup on these, the new springs were modified so the coilovers will go low out of the box and dampers to suit these ratings.

They will see a genuine 120mm if your chassis will allow. Just add wheel bearings with hubs and away you go.

I ran these on my turbo mk3 at around a 70mm drop and it was great fun with a better ride than the spring and shock kits at the same height. The lowered steering arm makes a large difference in fixing the altered geometry from lowering the polo and the result is reduced bump steer.

Full TUV approval and a 2 year warranty.

These come in at £445 delivered.

Just the fronts are £340 delivered

Payment details can be found at the bottom of the thread. Usually paypal (+4% for the charges) or bank transfer.

Please give me a PM if you have any questions or would like to order.


Gaz

At the top of the pile is the Gaz kit, these do require an old pair of struts to be machined.

Custom made to order Gaz coilovers which come in at £700, they come with a 2 year warranty, the rears have been chrome nickel plated, and the fronts black zinc coated.

These are completley custom. So, if you want to choose your spring rates, you can. If you want a kit that'll drop it on the floor with minimal travel, just for general road use, or you want them built for the track, its up to you. Just let me know at the time of ordering. The spring rates for a typical road kit will be 250lb/ft front and 180 lb/ft rear. The springs are interchangable, so if at a later date you wish to change the rating, its easily done as you know what your starting with!

The steering arms have been lowered a suffient amount to correct the suspension geometry and angle of the steering arms when lowering a polo, they will be fully ride height and dampening rebound adjustable all round. The rear shocks are bump and rebound adjustable, which is done via an adjusting nob at the side of the damper on a 3:1 ratio. The fronts are top adjustable.

Needs to be on a strut exchange basis, its easy enough to get a set from the scrappy, or here on the forum. The coilovers will take 2-3 weeks to be machined and made up.

A finished set will look like...
