KW suspension is a popular on this forum. I am also looking for suspension options at the moment, so far the KW Version 3 coilovers appeals to me the most. The only thing holding me back from going out and getting these tomorrow is that you cant lower car more than about 1 3/4' inches (one and three quater inches). I would have expected more from a height adjustable suspension.

My quote for the Eibach Pro-Kit is $580 not-installed... is that reasonable?

Sounds too cheap??
Springs only?
Springs + shocks combo will be a lot more than that...
I am waiting for my H&R lowering springs to arrive...
06 Polo GTI - REVO Stage 2 = 140kw @ wheels.
06 Golf GTI - Bluefin Stage 1 blacked out with ED30 theme, leather, xenon, etc.

The Eibach Pro-Kit... I'm pretty sure it's just a spring kit?Originally Posted by insanekiwi
How much you pay for the H&R springs?

remember tho guys
you put in lowering springs with your stock shocks you will wear out the shocks and end its life very quickly!
if your gonna do a shock/spring combo your not far off a set of weitec v1s or kw v1's ..
speak to Dragan even for Weitec of KW Springs/Shocks if your not wanting to go to coilovers due to costs, he does discounts for the forum members dragan@inmotive.com.au for contact

Remember, the Polo is already lowered by around 25mm, relative to the standard Polo. An Eibach Pro or Koni Sports spring kit lowers this a further 15-20mm, and at that point, you are not far off the bump stops.
You can buy a Koni Sports kit, which comprises blue series lowered springs and Koni Yellow adjustable front and rear shocks -- which are designed to work together -- for around $1,400 + fitting

How come you have that URL in your sig, advertising? Curious to know why you'd plug them while having them in your sig as well.
I asked him for a price on KW springs, should I have mentioned being a VW Watercooled forum member?
Do the agents in other cities (ie: Sherrin Motorsport in Brisbane) do the discounts too?
The Swiss Cheese
Polo GTI Weitec V1's are $1609. 5% discount for Forum Members.
So $1522 i think that works out to be ..
Hope that helps
