I have been a member here but never posted before. I think it is time to share now :). Following are some pictures of my polo along with the details on what modifications I have done so far

• Magnaflow catback exhaust system
• TSW 17x8"(ET35) Nurburgring wheels with Yokohoma AR01 215/40R17 tires
• Vogtland lowering springs
• Tinted headlights and fog lights

I welcome your feedback and any questions you might have. Hope to share more going forward.

Welcome to tai and those are some amazing mods.

Post a video of the exhaust system and do update the cost and what all things needs to be changed.

Some nice modifications there, how is the ride quality after lowering springs. I have gt tsi running on stock suspension and tyres. Can i use these springs to lower my ride and i want to keep alloys stock for the time being.

Note: You will be getting lot of question please try to be online.

I am running Vogtland springs with stock shocks, so far they seem to hold up well. Time will tell.

Ride is definitely much firmer than stock. But I do prefer the way polo rides and handles now. I am not sure if everyone would like the fact that every undulation in the road can be felt, but it does not bother me. Lot of polo GT TSI's are also running these springs (check staytunedindia on instagram or facebook), there are other springs in the market (H&R, Eibach, Tein, etc). Each, with slightly different spring rates and height drop.

Apart from the lowered height, I also have low profile tires so this adds to firmer ride. I ran Vogtland with stock alloys and tires for a week or so before my new wheels came in, the ride was slightly better with larger profile tires for sure ( I was running 205/55R15 Yokohomo S drives with stock wheels).

Re: Stanced Polo 1.6 MPI

How much drop in ride height are we talking about and will it look good with stock alloys? will the gap between wheel arches and wheels drop with these springs?
Thanks in Advance.

As per Vogtland 30mm/50mm front and rear. But this could be based on original euro-spec suspension. I have about 1/1.5 inch gap between the wheel arch and tire now.
