Atfer much thought and a small loan from my brother from uk-polos.net, I took the plunge and ordered Eibach coilovers last week. Ive not been that active on the forums in the last 4 weeks as I had Uni exams. Anyways yesterday I drove from Dundee to Aberdeen to get the suspension fitted...
[4 hours after drop-off]
I go back to the place to pick up the Beezer, and what can I say, the s3xy b1tch is sittin just right, after almost a year as a pram she was finally sittin the way god intended. This is the single biggest mod I have done to the Mk4 since I got her 3 years ago. Simply stating I was excited is a ridiculous understatement.
So I reversed her into the narrow sidestreet and off I went. What can I say guys and girls, Eibach are absolute geniuses. The bone-shaking osteoarthritis-inducing standard shocks were safely in the boot and I was creaming along these gorgeous coilovers, flowing over imperfections in the tarmac that the standard set-up wouldve shuddered over. So far, so brilliant.
Now heres the interesting bit, I had previously driven my bro's polo running the same kit, but never on the motorway. I had no idea how she was gonna ride for the 65 miles back down to Dundee. The resulting trip was the best motorway drive I have ever taken in this car. She felt so planted to the road. I didnt exactly feel lowered to the max (as in butt cheeks to the ground) but I felt safer and more stable, especially at higher speeds. I can only describe this as driving over smooth caramel (if u could do such a thing)... the faster I got, the smoother the ride became. It was completely unfazed on the same crappy roadworks that the old suspension hated, instead charging (with all 64 horses
) over the small potholes with no problems whatsoever. The drive down felt alot quicker than an hour, I was enjoying the ride THAT much. So Im gonna conclude by saying I am very very happy with these Eibach coilovers, they made her look tons better and ride like a dream.
