Lowering the beast

[darth_vader_helmet]

Hi guys whats the cheapest way to lower my seat arosa? would appreciate any links u may have to bits n bobs i may need to do it.

Would it be easier and maybe cheaper to replace my 13" biscuits with lets say 15" alloys?

Hope someone can help steer me in the right direction

You'll need to get either a set of springs and shocks, or a set of coilovers. Spring and shocks tend to be cheaper than coilovers, obviously depending on the brand you go for.
PhilJ on clubpolo sells cheap coilovers, and springs also i believe.

Also depending on the condition of your bump stops, it's worth replacing those while you have the suspension off, they're only a couple of pounds each.

Fitting is almost the most expensive bit unless you can do it yourself, or have a handy mate you can pay in beer

Cheers for great reply

Had a change in heart over this and may keep it standard until I decide to sell up and possibly go for the 1.4 sport

You'll probably want to do it on the sport too, the suspension is not brilliant on any of the Arosa's!
