An updated pic of my car with the Eibach Pro Kit springs I had fitted last week - they only dropped it 20mm but it made a nice subtle difference.

Good job. How's the handling side of things?

Noticed a definate decrease in body roll (have some nice "twisties" around my area) - the polo stands pretty tall on the stock springs and definately moved around a lot more on them. Sticks to the road well too, but always did to be honest. Ride quality hasn't really changed (nice bonus), although it's pretty stiff to start with. Glad I did it, just sorry it took me a year!

You might even find the springs will seat themselves and drop a bit further by a months time. It looks good, much better than before :D

I couldn't help myself when I saw these in the brochure - they're called "Exor STP" and they're listed as an accessory for the Polo.

I think STP stands for S#*t, They're Pricey, but I love em.
