Lowering for aesthetics

Thanks for taking the time to post up. As I said initially I guess the main outcome I am after is the look, but at the same time I understand enough to know that taking a hacksaw to the existing coils isn't the answer!! I'm not much of a tinkerer, not because I don't want to but more I don't really have the time. I'm an Executive Director in my day job and have a motorsport photography business as well. The Polo will be something that could maybe add a little to the photog business as it will get people at least looking at the car.

So... I'm prepared to pay up to $1k landed for suspension, so I shouldn't end up with crap, but I don't think I will have the time, or the inclination to spend on adjusting suspension. My research and (extremely) limited knowledge indicates that a H&R lowered coil and Bilstein B8 is a great combo. It should be better than std, will certainly give me the look I'm after. With a Milltek system it should get some heads turning to at least see where that noise is coming from.

I guess the only other consideration is whether the FK Konigsport coilies will perform better tat the H&R + Bilstein combo, given that I'm unlikely to spend the time it would require to get them set up optimally.

cheers, Gordon

Oh, waiting on suspension... I've had good and bad experiences, my AP's arrived with a bent shock sticking out of the box, all sorted, just took longer again.
