Those look interesting...but I'd urge a little caution, as the spring rate quoted -- FRONT SPRING RATE: 7.0 kg/mm -- REAR SPRING RATE: 5.3 kg/mm -- (that's around 400 & 300 lb/in respectively) seems fairly ...er...actually, very stiff! I had a look on clubpolo.co.uk, and one of the guys there suggests the standard Polo (not GTI) is 225 & 180. If that's the case, then on typical Australian roads she'll jump around like a frog in a sock

Edit: I'll just temper what I said, having seen, GolfMan, that your Pog is a TDI, and therefore a little heavier at the front end

Surely as they are adjustable, the spring rates will change too.

I think also the picture is just a file pic and not of the actual set you will get.

The springs may be progressive, ie, each coil may compress slightly differently, but the overall rate is fixed. The adjustment will be in the dampers

The springs are not adjustable, their rate is fixed. You can get springs that are wound to give a soft intial ride but stiffrn up after a certain amount of compression.
