Hey folks,

I've recently bought myself a mk5 polo 1.4tdi

looking at suspension I'm thinking of getting a spring and shock kit rather than coilovers leaving me more money for wheels etc.. wondering how low is safe to go at the front?

as it is a diesel the front is a bit heavier than usual, would 80 at the front be too low, am I safer getting 60? currently fitted with 15" volkswagen alloys and the new wheels will also be 15"

Hoping to get this ordered today so any help/suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Lyndsey

Hey Lyndsey...

I have a MK 5 polo with 80 on the front and back (philj's kit) its find for bumps and everything... I can even do BIG bumps... You'll be suprised and prob wanna go lower... It looks more like a 60 when its fininshed!!!

Anyway you will have no problems... here is a pic of mine on 80.. These pics were before my new splitter so thats the standard splitter... Hope this helps

thanks for that..think ill just bite the bullet and get the 80/60 kit then (from philj too)

should be posting pics up soon when I've got this all sorted

You have a PM about suspension :)
