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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

What did you do to your Polo today?

Additionally, I previously had the struts mounted 20mm lower with spacer plates so overall, there was a 40mm drop so the struts were extended.

      It cost a lot since there was a lot of work involved (plus I had Whiteline Anti-Roll bars and Eddy's subframe spacers installed) so I hope it makes a noticable difference on track. Surprisingly, the camber plates aren't noticeably harsher than the original strut tops.

        Most of us wish we could get our cars 40mm lower. Any pics of them installed and the camber greg ?

                              They're not super light at 9.5kg but the TT rims were a massive 13.5kg each as per my workshop scales.
