Polo ride height & wheel fitment thread

[ATYPIC]

How different is the 6R set up to the 9N3? Mine only goes slightly off centre when I'm the lowest I can possibly go (I'm talking helpers out, bump stops cut and 3 spare wheels in the boot!) on 17's. Maybe it's the bigger arches on the 6R that emphasise it more

The 6R rear axle beam is welded to the chassis so unfortunately the centering plates cant be used.

The arch curve on the rear bar pronounces the offset more than it probably is.

IDF drop plates are the only other alternative... Still need to see if they will fit the polo hub. (The plates are made for mk4 golfs)

Bilstein b14 coilovers
5 mm spacers up front
10 mm spacers on the rear

Literally the lowest a polo can go and still drive.

1 cm lower and the CV's are hitting the chassis and the front tyres are rubbing on front bar/fender tab.

Setup: FK Streetline
Wheels: GTI Denvers
Front: 17x7 et46 215/40/17
Rear: 17x7 et46 215/40/17

Fitting 17' 8J ET35 wheels with the same 215/40/17's.. should get rid of that horrible tuck.

Also need to measure FTG.

That......is one sweet looking ride mate.
If I'm ever cruising the Coast I shall keep an eye open for you (if you still have it of course.)
I'll be the one waving from a dirty black Golf GTi, at least until I get the Polo I want.

Changed it a bit...

Still FK's, no perches at the rear and no helpers in front, 17" 8J ET32 wrapped in 205's..It's rubbing, Either need to get 195's or raise her.

My polo, on airlift/accuair, car is going away for measuring for IDF drop plates this week I can state that mk4 golf ones do not fit.
