There's no F in Quality..
Polo springs will fit IIRC but as Andy said, they'll be the wrong rating, because of weight and size of the cars etc
serioulsly though, would you really want a mk2 any lower than it is?
mine almost bottoms out on the slightest ridge in the road, and to be honest from the rear looks great with the standard bumper hanging just a few inches above the ground, even better with a remus pipe set poking out from under it lol

I think your mk2's already lowered, or you have lots of heavy things in it
Mine was like a 4x4 before it was lowered lol
as you say arun, its already been lowered or he got something heavy in the boot. but when somebody says why bother lowering a mk2, makes you think, dont it? 
lol very true, this gives me an idea, there should be a thread of laws for the mk2!! containing all the do's and don'ts

theres loads of cheapo ibiza coilovers on ebay for 170 quid + shipping. go rite down to 120mm some of them. cant say if theyre any good tho. only the 94-2000 polo has same springs as the ibiza mk2 1.4. gti springs are wider and shorter. i wud never just use lowering springs after the noise i got lowering the old ibiza 40mm on standard shocks.

You say go down to 120mm but they are not tested there! Even on my bilteins, they lower my car to 80mm but anything after 65mm and they are not tested to the "whatever" standard it is.
So therefore if they broke and throw a wheel off your car then you can't go kicking off because they were not tested and designed to go that low although they can go that low.

u may have just put me off coilies.
Well they can go that low and the threads are they to wind them down that low then they should be safe enough.... worse case really would be the life on the coilovers would be shorten.
Whats the test??? AUV approved? (Not sure what it is called now) But if you look in the manual or information about the collies then it states in there the range that it was tested at.
(Know I'm going back on my last post, but I mean a wheel going off would be very rare...... I haven't heard it happening to anyone yet
)
isnt it TUV Dave ?
and yes, Mk2's SHOULD be lowered. they just dont sit right without decking and spacing the rear wheels out IMO

Thats the one fella! Couldn't remember for the life of me, didn't know about it untill I was reading the booklet that came with my bilsteins
