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.

rears are way easier than front, you'll get them done in no timeVW: it aint just a car, its a way of life
There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it

Ah it's not as vicious as it sounds, I just levered out the plastic screws/clips and kept them for later.Comment

Finally getting my Koni yellow suspension fitted today! Hopefully this will go well paired with H&R Springs and peform better than standard shocks.APRV2:H&R SPRINGS:SEAT INTAKE:CUPRA R BUSHES: FORGE STRUT BRACEComment

No doubts it will do that. I went bilstein, but have driven a car with koni (and extensive other suspension work), was really nice. As they are adjustable, be mindful as to how they are adjusted to ensure consistency to.Originally posted by WHTPOLOGTI View PostTrack Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

How much did it set you back? Did you get it locally?? I really want to hear feedback. Especially comfort part.

Got it locally. Cost me 1185 fitted with wheel alignment. Comfort is very good. I have them on full soft at the front and quarter turned up to stiff on the rear. Very close to stock feelAPRV2:H&R SPRINGS:SEAT INTAKE:CUPRA R BUSHES: FORGE STRUT BRACEComment

Can the Konis be adjusted while mounted or do they need to be removed?
And what adjustments are possible? (rebound only, high/low compression...)Resident grumpy old fart

That's a good price from memory.Comment

They are oncar adjustable. Fronts are easy with twisting at the top of the strut. Rears require the wheel off to make adjustments as I understand. They are twist adjustable. I believe rebound only, but someone else will need to confirm.Originally posted by kaanage View PostTrack Car: 06 Polo GTI Red Devil mkII

Had this combo for a while now and still love it! They are damper adjustment only from memory. Near on stock feel when completely wound off then anywhere up to hard as a rock if that's your thing. As WHTPOLOGTI said 1 quarter turn on the rears for me as well as they have to removed to be adjusted, but 2 seconds to adjust the fronts! Loads of fun.Comment

How many peso's did that set you back landed, if you don't mind me asking?Originally posted by kangfu View PostComment

OK, so the fronts don't need a screw driver to turn an adjusting screw in the top of the strut (that's how my old ones were adjusted).Originally posted by seangti View Post
So for the rears, can you just undo the lower damper mounting bolt and turn the body? That shouldn't take long.
