Tax Return Time - what to do with the coin?

[VW GTI]

not the actual mount but the inserts. i think they about $119 fitted if i remember correctly.

Sorry, I was thinking of the TIP, which you could get done as well

This was my costing break down for what I have...

SEAT Intake...$160 to my door.
K&N Panel insert...$90 at Repco.
Weitec Springs...$375 from Inmotive(Fitted myself).
APR Torque Arm insert...$80(Fitted myself).
Federal 595 RS Semi Slicks...$300 each.
Whiteline Rear Sway Bar...$195(Fitted myself).
Forge Strut Race...$140 to my door.
Forge BOV...$200 to my door.

H&R Springs

$330 AUD Delivered. This is the site I've been looking at.

It's $340, close enough though

That's the site I posted a fair while ago. At current exchange rates the H&R Cup Kit is down to $1005 delivered, when it goes below $1k importing will become a whole lot cheaper since it'll avoid the taxes. That's what I'm doing with my tax money.

hey all, i found this and noticed the KAW Plus kit with a 40mm drop. what do you all reckon??

[Blitzen]

Price looks good, but I would pay the little bit extra an get the H&R kit. Just curious though, why bother with a 40mm drop??I think the Polo looks great with a 25 to 30mm drop, but thats just me.

What worries me when you search on google for 'KAW suspension' and it returns "Did you mean: kw suspension"

I'd definitely go H&R if you can get it under $1k after conversion. Otherwise I'd be going for the Bilstein B12 kit.

Id have to disagree with that - I believe even at 40mm it still looks like a 4x4.

It starts to look sexy and like a real hot hatch lowered by 50mm or MORE.

Thats my 2 cents.

It works out to be a 40ml drop on a standard Polo, which equates to a 25ml on a Polo GTI (already 15ml lower than standard). The Koni sports kit has a 40ml drop also (25ml in GTI), so that should give you an idea of how they will sit.

The H&R Cup kit is well priced, but their shocks are sourced elsewhere and aren't in the same league as other better known ones. Reports are that the Cup kit is a fairly harsh ride. Best to try before you buy if possible, eg someone who's already got them fitted.

Ahh, thats right, I always forget that they incorporate the standard ride height into it...My screw up.

Any comments on the Eibach kit?
