What did you do to your Polo today?

[333000]

Got my H&R springs put on. Also recently put on the honeycomb grill and got the windows tinted. Here are a couple of pics:

Looks sensational...!

I really have to switch the Eibach's for some 35mm H&R's... I just have to find some I guess.

this is where pretty much everyone on here got theirs, including me. try to find someone else to get them with so you can split the shipping, and they will be about $295 to your door.order yourself and they work out about $320.

looks awesoooooooooooome!

is the drop by 35mm? how high off the ground does it become then?

does anyone have H&R springs with nrma insurance? just trying to work out whether they permit lowering it as they are pretty strict with these things

thanks!

that little flap about half way along the underside on each side of the car got scraped the bump. i guess i'll have to do the ricer-boy angle drive over the speed bumps now.... what a loser i'm gonna look like (no comment from you please sam, preeny, steve, jason et al. ).

yeah what are those little flap things? what purpose do they serve?

they are 35mm springs so it's MEANT to be a 20mm drop for GTI's (35mm from standard Polo height and GTI's are 15mm lower than standard Polo's.... you do the math ), but they definitely look lower than 20mm, i'd confidently say mine are 25mm+ lower. as for high how off the ground....about this high

not sure mate, my mates old Saab 93 had them too, but his were more like mudguards half way along.

the little flaps remind me of the fins that female sharks have on their underbellies, right near their snatches.....

im gonna investigate this weekend, lol.

Just a thought on that. I bought a bilstein B12 kit as well as the H&R GTI springs. Why? It was cheaper buying the kit. Anyway I have the standard 9N H&R 35mm springs from the kit and comparing these to the H&R 35mm GTI springs, the GTI springs are heaps shorter. So from the looks of it I actually think the GTI springs do actually lower it a further 35mm. The B12 kit ones are meant to lower a stock polo 35mm and they are at least 1cm or more longer. Anyway thats my observation.

As to the one wheel over the speedhump trick; I must be a 'ricerboy'as thats how I have always approached speed humps in any car. Its much less stress on the suspension and allows you o go over them a little faster than you normally would.

I put a deposit down on these crazies last night...., so they are no longer on the company website

2 piece Impul RS Hoshino Racing Wheels.
- 2 are 17x7.5 ET+25
- 2 are 17X8 ET+32

These sizes and offsets will have them sitting out 24mm further on either side of the car, and stretching my 205's over them

Apparently they only weigh about 6-7kg each
