Just fitted eibach coilover onto My Polo, the front will go really low, but the rears even at their lowest setting arent low enough.

Can i remove the adjuster seats and just run the spring to get few extra mm?

Does anyone do sslightly shorter rear springs for this chassis?

Cheers

Andy

Hmm, its either the drop links or ARB bushes??

I had the vRS arb fitted and drop links changed for shorter ones at the same time as fitting coilovers, knocking has gone!

I have Weitec gt hicon on the car, and thats super, no knocking noises at all.

And no problems in the front with drop links or ARB bushes, its all standart ;)

Looks really sweet, but could do to be dropped a bit lower at rear to even it out a bit! What coilovers have you put on it??

Looks like springs not coilovers!

My coilovers lowered 75mm + on front and back, can't get a figer between wheels and arch...
