Not Coilovers but springs

I got told by a mechanic friend that the suspension is the same as a polo 6r

spot on mate guess i can get started once my car arrives

I got my H&R springs through awesome gti. Keep scouring the web for coilies but suppose these will do while I wait!

Coilovers should be out within 3 months apparently?

i so want to do this. i wonder if thats a 35mm drop over. standard hight or sports pack height. because isnt sports pack a 40mm drop

 

[nEiL!]

-35mm from standard mate, sports pack is -15mm

 

[willowaz]

ok girl question here.... explain what a coilover is?

 

[george929]

its a coil spring that goes over the shock absorber. essentially the up has "coilovers"already, but what us Modders call coilovers are a single unit shock and spring, with adjustable height.

 

[willowaz]

ok, so you'd replace the ones it already has to be able to lower the car?

 

[Roadrunner]

willowaz, thats not a girl question, I was about to ask as I did not know what they were and I'm an engineer...... The only reason I did not is I saw you had already asked.

Yea, allows you to alter the ride height of your car and make it look like this;

Can make the ride slightly bumpy though

thanks that makes me feel a little better, i kinda guessed roughly what they were but needed to ask.
my brother is always modifying his and other peoples cars, and i never really ask what he is doing. his car most definatly is an uncomfortable ride when there are any bumps because its sooo low

 

[PonyOne]

Just ordered my Up and it's supposed to be a "sensible" car after my current car (coilovers wound so low you can't even use dropkerbs)...

Like the idea of a 35mm drop with the AwesomeGTI springs, just to take the edge off.

i wasnt aware that polo 6r have the same suspension. i cant wait for more companies to tune the up! like ABT
