I was reading Kellaway's suspension refresh in the projects section and looks like he used the B4s but want to know myself as is the only thing holding me back from buying them. Asked the seller and he has assured me that they fit!? Regards, Matt

That's a great help thanks. Looks like I will go for the Bilstein B4s with the H&Rs. Will be fitting myself but may get springs compressed at garage and shocks built as only have threaded compressors and not that brave with compressed springs!! So is just shocks, springs, topmounts, topmount bearings, bumpstops and shock covers, droplinks, balljoints for the shopping list! Thanks all for your help

Hello mate, I drove to work today (Southampton to Dover) 156 miles and averaged 57 mpg. Summer with a light foot I'm up to 60-62 mpg. Indicated on the mpg readout anyhow! I can get 450-500 miles per tank on average so is pretty frugal. Is a 54 plate. If it's any help I have the PD160 intake and a pipercross filter if that makes any difference but was using about the same as before. Hope it helps, Matt

Have ordered Meyle HD droplinks and thinking Meyle top mounts and bearing would be a good choice?

£450 isn't bad but wanting to keep as standard as possible and comfort is important. Thanks a lot for the advice. Are they fit and forget as had coilovers on my Type R and had to care for rusted strut threads etc.

Great, saw those. Are they going to be as good as oem ones in terms of longevity and comfort. Looking at H&R or Eibach springs but only seem to do 40 mm drop which is too much for me. Thanks for your reply

Hi All, Have searched this subject but can't quite find what I'm after. My Polo GT has soldiered through almost 170000 miles. Have refreshed brakes for new all around and now is time for the tired standard suspension which needs attention. I am after standard oem KYB/Monroe/Bilstein shocks with possibly lowering springs no more than 25 mm and hopefully not too crashy. Could anyone advise and more importantly point me to some supplies which are trustworthy as struggling so far. Many thanks in advance, Matt

Cheers for the info. Not expecting it to be as good quality as darkside but not heard much else from folks about fitting and success. I think it's worth a punt tho at that price. Regards, Matt

Does the map sensor wiring need extending for this kit? Does anyone sell extended wiring for the pipe kits as looked everywhere. Am fitting to a Polo GT130 BLT but can't find any done on the VW yet! Does anyone know if I have a Fabia or a Ibiza crash bar? Just thinking of biting the bullet and going for it.

Would this fit a Polo GT 9n as miss having an arm rest?

Ok great, 2 wd or 4wd are the same! Thanks for the responses!

Cheers for that. So just need the TT calipers, carriers and 312 mm discs & pads then? That's great and thanks a lot for the help!

Hi all. 1st post but just want to check that Audi TT 225 MK1 front brakes will fit my 2005 Polo GT / Fabia VRS? Have checked list in tech guides but wanted to be sure. Thanks in advance
