Mk 4 Polo 1.0l - NEW POLO GTI!!!

Hey people, i joined the site about a week ago so i thought it was about time i started a new topic.

Iv got a mk 4 polo, and want to lower it in the next few weeks, i was thinking about doing it 60 on the front and 60 on the back???

What is everyones opinion?
I didnt want to go toooo low, but then want to do it enough so it looks good.

hi

whats your budget?

if you read other threads on here you'll relise that everyone is going to tell you to get height adjustable coilovers.

with these you can go as high or as low as you want (within reason) but they are generally the most expensive option when comparing them with lowering springs or lowering springs and shocks...unless you find a bargain. on ebay you might be able to get a set of new coilovers for bout £200 (you can at least for a mk2 golf not sure about polo's )

Follow that link there is a guy on that forum that just sells springs+shock kits from £120  and coilovers from £200.

Hi thanks for the comment...

Well if im honest, my budget doesnt stretch to the coilovers so i think springs will have to do!

Coilovers sound good but i just cant afford to spend that much at the moment! Thanks for the info tho

Its a standard mk4...
so thats why i wondered how much to slam it by....?

Thanks for the link....
Is is best to buy them from a proper vw site??
There are the badge less grills on there aswel which i was looking for aswell so thats good.

There is the polo standard height...

doesnt have to be from a vw site. just pay attention to exactly what you are buying. some components may be different on other models and engine sizes so its always good to get parts that are designed for your model if at all possible

try ebay.

Yeah i understand....
No that website looks good to me, might buy some bits from there.
Thanks for the advice tho!

This is my Mk4. Lowered 60mm on the above mentioned springs & shocks. Also debadged grille off ebay.

Yeah looks sooo much better imo with the de-badged grill!
I reckon thats just right on ur mk 4, looks good but not so low that it rubs bad... least i can see what mine could look like.
im gonna go for it i think, order the springs n shocks this weekend.

That's my mate Phil on Clubpolo, he's sound and will help you out.

Yeah i was looking on the site last night, prices are good to be honest! Probs gonna buy both the springs and the grill off there...

Gettin me little polo lowered sunday
Hopefully will look good, pics will be up when its done!!

Hey people...
I got my mk4 polo lowered a few weeks back, 60mm on both the front and rear. Havent had time to put pics up so here they are!

I reckon i should have gone lower on the rear but oh well i still think it looks good!













All comments welcome....!!!!

Get those mods done you was on about earlier and itll be lookin

Are you sure your down 60 at the back? Looks higher than mine!

Yeah its definately 60mm on the rear, iv only got springs on the front and back, if i had shocks i reckon it would be lower ?

I see. Your shocks wont last long with those springs on tho!

Done few more bits n bobs! now have my new sticker....DUBWAY oh yes!!

Hi everyone, dont really use the site that much but now have a new car so thought i would!

I have just got (well had a few weeks now) a 6n2 polo gti.
Everything is standard at the moment but im real chuffed with it!


See what ya all think here are a few pics

Looks good. Plans for it?

Erm... kinda skint at the moment so saving up!

I wanna get the wheels re-furbed soon as they are in really good condition, but i have heard thats a common thing with the bbs's on the polos.

When they are done i wanna get some coilies which i cant wait to get! Then go from there really! it needs a few bits n bobs doing to it before i plan anything else...

it is a tasty car for sureeeeee zara you just need to find that accelerator pedal jokes

Thanks

Haha hardly! U know how scared i get, its a big difference compared to the 1.0 litre!

U gotta love the headlight washers lol.

looks cool, will be even better on coilies!
