I've since contacted Charlie (ebay seller provided by coilin 5e) about these coilovers my problem is Charlie can't get me a set with red coils and my engine bay theme is red and gloss black.ive since contacted other sellers,they said polo 6n coilovers are the same.ive many of dub friends and they can't confirm the polo set up will fit.any ideas lads?

jeez man spray them red :) :)

i can only say mk1 rears and mk2 golf fronts !!!! if u want to find out about the polos then go to a polo forum and start surfing for measurements
taken me 3.5 months of research to get the right measurements !!!!!!!

Haha Colin I'm a spray painter too.only thing is they would need powder coated base and lacquer wouldn't last the crack. I spoke to Charlie who you bought your coilovers off 10mins ago via text message and he said they are polo 6n coilovers!can you put pics of your coilovers when you received them

Colin wouldn't it be better to cut the bottom holes to size of the front coil mounting?
I had these ta coils on my del sol for 2 years and when I sold it I fitted them on my eg ferio for another 3 years..i was very pleased with the performance and the durability of the coils is amazing..5 years and still they are as new!! And I did some pretty nasty things with my 2 hondas.. I checked the ta eshop but they hadn't any for a gt but now with yout thread you saved me!! Cheers!! Gj!!

Rep added!!

ha yes i wont make that mistake again i was like a young lad bit exited and didnt think just bolted the bottom together and started to file away the top 1s to size
on my next bottom cups im going to equal the distance on both holes

and no problem thats what this thread is for :) :)

Great job Colin, if my coilovers tuck up I will be doing this, I like the fact of reaming out the holes on the front ones, that can add some nice camber.
rep for u

You can see the 6n rears are slightly shorter than the mk2 rears
