Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

how long can i expect my stock shocks to last should i fit these? or will i need to be replacing them also?
car is driven mostly like a nana...no track or motorkana work -
Hard to say mate, but I've read 10-20,000km maybe? Ideally you would replace the shocks as well, but I was going to just leave the stockies in until they wore out

If you do drive it gently most times, then the stock dampers may last 50,000km.
The ride will get jouncy (stiff initial response and some over shoot in the recovery) and more so as the dampers wear.Resident grumpy old fart

How low do the rears go, Tooch? I'd be interested because my coilovers are at their lowest with the perch out and I'd like to go lower still.
Also, if you don't move them by next w/e, bring them down to Dub-stitute, you'll probably get some interest there.

Not sure dude, you might have to ask in the Polo section, as I never actually fitted them to my car.
Dubstitute is on the 29th yeah? I won't make it, as I'm getting my bike license

No way man! That won't take all day will it? We'll be going on into the evening no doubt so you should still swing by!Originally posted by tooch View PostNot sure dude, you might have to ask in the Polo section, as I never actually fitted them to my car.

So is the bike the reason for the lack of Polo now? (No hard feelings haha)Comment

Bloody course goes from 8-6!
May be able to swing past afterwards, will see how I go
Nah the bike is just a fun thing, just to ride my ****ty postie bike around hahaha.
The reason for the lack of Polo is an upgrade to a Skoda Octavia vRS wagon
