The guys says that his is lowered 60/90

Lowering the rear more than the front can seriously fuck up the car's cornering ability.

Id just measure it...

Measure the height between the side sill and the floor at front and rear... and adjust it so the rear has the same height difference as the front.

guy that done mine didnt do it by counting the amount of teeth he turned it buy, he's a wizz kid and had the whole thing measured down to a tee. the front and back are bang on equal. top result! 60/60

Front Lower is better for handling, my Polo is about 85mm Front and 60mm Rear, doesnt look that bad, when my arches are pulled it will be leveller though

that is something i was thinking about this morning.

im going down 60mm on front and back. maybe i could ask for the back to be the same as the front. the bloke did a good job on one of my previous saxo's, so another good job will be done again.

u got any pics of ur polo john mate?
