      • Thankyou to the 6R Jedi that is Gavs. You're a hero, a saviour and a shining light...=D

        Mods: 35/55 H&R's, Sway Bar, Footwell lights (Red), & Tintacar Octane. (Oh, and a pretentious 'R' badge)
        New springs make the car a little more bouncy, but around corners? Sticks like glue, flat as buggery...
        The steering has been firmed up too - you can feel where the wheels are now.
        Keep blowing that smoke man, it feels good! Seriously, glad to help. Now you just have to try out that run up to cradle mountain from devenport, awesome road. Watch out for the typical tassie road quality with those new springs though!

        • Can't believe i'm asking this!...

          I would like to get springs for my Polo....Yes I said in the past I refused to join the spring changers club...however my car is too high!

          So first of all, which springs should I get? (brand) and what size? (don't want to be tubbed on the ground but something that suits an OEM finish).

          Regards

          • Massive backflip (lol)! Yes, the jacked-up rear-end look wears a bit thin after a while. You can't go wrong with H & R 25/40 springs (although they might be 20/35's now?). $240 landed from Orange tuning back in October. The ride height is just right and I haven't had any clearance issues to date. I don't think I'd go to 35/55 though, the 25/40's are firm enough IMO.

              http://www.orange-tuning.de/shop/pol...m-p-17794.html 929kg?

              or

              http://www.orange-tuning.de/shop/pol...m-p-17795.html 930 kg?

              Also should i get new dampers, where do i find those?

              Cheers

                • Hail, to keep a decent rim-to-guard relationship, I'd personally go the 25/35 (yes, H&R did revise it) in either H&R or Eibach. My preference though is KW.

                  • Should i get new dampers with the springs? Unfortunately i think there is the 25/40 available now.

                    the 930kg spring is for diesel right?

                      From what I have found, they are standard with the German Polo Highline. The Website describes them as 'Inlays in "Pepper Grey Metallic" for center console' (Link). You might be able to get it shipped from that German Dealership that a lot of people on these forums get their items from (I don't know who, but they are mentioned in this thread somewhere, around about the time I posted those Black rear headlights). Seeing as they're standard on the car they should be able to find the part number.


                      PS, dont forget the trim on the door trim would need a RHD version due to the mirror adjuster.

                      • Unfortunately its not the same Euro Highline Polo's all come with peppergrey interior trim, mine has it too. Was thinking of changing it all to gloss black but this is wayyy better. Might be a custom wrapping project?

                        • Remember there are also companys that do custom interior work.

                          Your looking at some serious cashiola but at least the finish will be as you asked/requested.

                          Need a hand in which 25/40 mm springs to order, as soon as i know those babies are on order, but like my last querry...should i get different dampers to suit or would to sports pack dampers suffice?

                          Regards

                            Hail,

                            it's the <929kg ones you need, front axle load is something like 870 or 880kg in the 77TSI.

                              Do you advise new dampers or the sports pack ones should be a safe bet?

                                Just done 4 weeks in Tassie. The drive into Cradle mountain is unbelievable. DO IT.
