Given the OP's question about doing occasional track days, I would suggest that fitting coilovers would be ok, provided they are both height and damper adjustable.

Unless you're competitive, then coilovers aren't really worth the asking price IMO. Most people have no idea on adjusting suspension settings and can get in a bit of trouble at speed in a corner.

I'd suggest some firmer, lowered springs. Use the saved money on brake pads, tyres and good quality brake fluid at a track day.

Yeah... that's why I am trying out the H&R springs first. If I am unhappy, I will probably get some Blistein shock absorbers later on. Only done 24000km on my original shocks, so hopefully it will last another 30000km or so.

I am going to my first track day in May, and getting things ready. Just like u said... EBC pads / new brake fluids / new engine oil and service / front sway bar upgrade / H&R springs / new gearbox oil / stainless braided brake lines / new alignment.

Really looking forward to the transformation.

so what are the going rates for H&R springs for the polo's?

and how much lower will it bring the car down?

any one got any pics of lowered (current model) polo's?

I would like to see pics of a GTi Polo with the H&R's...

I have the Eibach Pro-Kit but think that I want a little lower again. Who sells H&R's and whats a reasonable price?

Thanks in advance!

Mate as far as I can remember the H&Rs only go 5mm lower than the Eibachs you have now (25mm in total) - not sure that you would see a difference .

Do a quick search bud - I have some pics of mine somewhere, Eddy has a mean stance with some coilovers (& spacers) and I'm sure there's a few more pics floating around.

Thanks for your feedback - yeah its not worth H&R's if all I get is another 5mm drop. I was looking at the H&R Cup Suspension package?

I have been in contact with Eddy re. his set up - although this is out of my budget as I don't want to got to far over $1K for the shock / spring set up.

I did a search but had no luck with pics of H&R Cup set up..
