Ride quality -

They will be firmer and bouncy even on roads you "thought" were smooth, they do give you good grip, I would say better than oem except they do hop slightly on a bumpy bend which is expected from a firmer setup but to be fair the oem springs and dampers did it and were even worse. Funny enough I don't know if it's just coincidence but braking feels better as well but to be fair I had changed the pads so maybe they just wore in better at that stage hence me saying coincidence.

The height -

They go pretty low good drop granted you have droplinks - usually supplied in the kit. Personally I didn't buy them to go very low I bought them to be able to adjust them if needs be (taking alot of passengers/luggage/dirt roads or roads I know it could scrape) as well as to even out the drop as sometimes coil springs drop the front more than the rear or visa versa and I wanted them even.

Build quality -

They built well apart from poorly placed holders for the wheel speed sensor cable and brake line holder but that's minor. Threads are good, ally used is good they can take a beating considering they still going strong on these roads. I have held these and JOM's and not to knock the brand the FK's are built slightly better but how they look means nothing its how well they built the internals of the damper but as for the FK's they decent.

Problems -

My front left clunks when turning at a stand still or at slow speeds and I tired everything (wasn't droplinks,wasn't top shock mountings) turned out to be the main spring binding with the helper spring and I didn't want to remove the helpers so I cable tied the main spring to the helper to stop them shifting and everything is 100% no noise now. Other than that they have been awesome so far.



If you can afford dampening adjustable coilovers go for them you will be very pleased that you are able to set them softer on these roads. It's quite abit more bouncy than a oem setup and honestly I almost took them off within the first week due to this but you get used to it eventually and I don't mind much now but some days you just want it to glide over the roads like the oem setup did and if you have dampening adjust you can set it softer and you will be happy. Prepair for some sort of noises in the suspension though. Lastly the problems all go away when you see how awesome the car looks when it's lowered.

I have an issue with the box of my 6r steptronic, as I reversed out the driveway and into D, I felt some resistance as though the gear lever struggled to get Into "D"
So I then decided to see if Sport mode was OK and the lever refused to go down any further, didn't want to force it or damage anything further I drove to a friend's house

I opened the knob and lifted the trim to find that the plastic fitting which sits around the shaft had broken, it is secured with a pin which is now bent, the resistance I felt earlier was due to the pieces preventing the shifter from moving freely

Now the safety features obviously do not work on the shifter and the darn key doesn't come out

Can this plastic and pin be bought separately? Any assistance will highly be appreciated.

First things first, Outstanding troubleshooting skills on finding the issue.
Now your options on finding the replacement part is contacting GW/ VW and see if they can source and sell it to you.

If all fails then search ebay.
I am not seeing where you located, but start by contacting GW delarey.

Got a 2013 Polo 6R comfortline. Looking for a place to service it in Jhb? Any recommendations

Hey Bud,

I currently have 6c GTI springs lying around at home that i will not be fitting anymore. Not sure how big of a drop that accounts for but drop me a PM if interested.
