    Coilovers for my Polo - Your thoughts?

    Hey guys,

    I've had one of my friends purchase these coilvoers off eBay from the UK and he said they were extremely good for the price. All I pretty much want is a little stiffer and to be able to adjust the height. Here is the ones I'm looking at: COILOVER VW POLO 9N 6R ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION | eBay

    Let me know your thoughts

    Best to PM Josh (Golfman) for his honest opinion, he's been running a set of HotTuning (which these appear to be) on his Polo for a while now.

    Hey there,

    I have Hot tuning coilovers in my Polo GTI and have been running them for about 50,000kms. They are extremely affordable and look awesome - nice and low. However ths ride is absolutely appalling and has gotten worse and unbearable for me - great handling though. If you want your polo to look nice and low and not to phased about comfort - these are the coilovers for you!!

    I'm running FK AK Stretline Coilies which have lowered the Polo nicley

    Cost $430 Delivered from Performance 3000 in the UK. Drops it nicley

    and the ride qualitiy isn't too bad at all around town. Can be a bit ruff

    though when you give it a bit on backroads

    I've got the Kw V1's and they are still a bit firmer than standard, but the rebound and damping is so so sooooooo worth it

    Look into FK highlines as well still cheaper than KW V2 and from being in a FK coilovered car, worth it.

    I'll write a review when mine land

    Lots of opinions. Worth prioritizing comfort, price or budget. I'd add a rear sway to any setup.
