thanks again lads, dub-disaster - reckon the gaz coilovers will do me fine, mainly a weekend car so comfort isnt a major concern. i can throw in a set of coilovers but wouldnt have the time/patience or know-how on building a set from parts lol.
youngprodigys - you say u can adjust the wheel camber? are polos known for bad camber/tyre wear when lowered?
appreciate the help
ps: saw the pics of your G in that build thread of your, a truely nice car mate, lots of time and money spent there, hope you get it up and running smoothly soon! tt dashboard, unreal looking.
