Coilovers or find the extra $$$?

[Gti Dave]

just out of interest, i've read many many times something along the lines of "20mm lowered sports suspension" and "the gti sits 20mm lower than the other pogs", but does anyone know if the shocks are different in the gti than they are in the others? (i would presume so)

or is it a case of 15-20mm lowering springs in the gti as opposed to stock?

cheers!

According to the H&R catalogue, springs for the Polo Gti lowers it by 35mm. So I'm assuming another 35mm from the already lowered Gti over standard Polos.

Push it....push it good.

I personally think the stock rolls tooo much

Well thats just it. What are you comparing the roll to?

I think for a hatch, it is pretty good. Comparing it to a sports car or vehicle worth much more isn't really a comparison is it...

just be cautious with any lowering. most insurance policies will only allow a certain drop.

check with your policy/provider, becuase if you exceed the limit, your insurance company will be more than happy to reject a claim on a technicality

The definition on policies is 'legal modifications' so anything is ok as long as no part of your car is less than 10cm from the ground. (apart from wheels I guess).
