Don't you have to change drop links lower than 50mm?

A mk2f doesn't have drop links.

DON'T GIVE OUT DUFF ADVICE, IF YOU DONT KNOW THE ANSWER THEN DONT ANSWER - SIMPLE!!!

Also, be handy to find out the offset, but with that size tyre you may get away with more than others do.

thats not advice harris hes asking a question lol.

but no... no drop links..

That's just somebody else jumping in though, not really helpful, if drop links were an issue on this chassis id have said it.

I'm running 6x14 wheels on the same tyre sizes and 60mm down, no scrubbing.

Tbh coilovers are allways the way to go, they are expensive for a mk2/f but how the market is at the moment you can allways sell them for a good amount. It comes down to your wallet and if you think the car is worth it

From phil j a spring and shock kit i some where around £120-150 while its £ 340 just for a set of front coilovers for a full set its around 465

The biggest problem I had was that no matter how low I went I soon wanted it lower, I started with a 60/40 second had phil j kit follwed by New 80mm front springs, I then cut two coils off them and fitted bonrath lowering topmounts ( this all went on over a year)

iin the end I just forked out for some front coilovers and couldnt be happyer. ( personaly wouldn't bother with rear coilovers as most rear shock and spring sets have set adjustments any way)

Buy front coilovers and a set of rear shocks and springs and adjust them unroll you are happy:)

Jesus Christ you need to get laid mate or else relax. I'm only going on advice I've read in these forums.

I've never read about droplinks on a mk2f polo.

Only mk2f I know of is Mikeys using Rover parts.

Lmao I am relaxed, easy to assumes ones mood behind a computer screen.

They should be fine but it depends on the wheel offsets.

Exactly, clearly read half a post.

Yooo.. Back to the sus, so coilovers on the front and just lowering spring and shock on t

he back then?

Ye, back on topic? wtf?

I'd go coilovers all round mate. shocks and springs will be comfier/softer so if you want to go low may scrub and you can never set a perfect height with shocks and springs.

Rear coilovers for a mk4 fit with washers/small spacers at the bottom to ofset them :-)

Chill man. Its called banter.

Which is what every single "How low" threads turn out to be.

Cheers for all your input, I will have a look to see what coilover kits or springs are out there.
