Thats the thing, because 340's use inserts you have to find a shorter insert, and none of use can find one shorter, and no one makes them. Avo qouted me £150 each insert to get some made 2inches shorter...erixtar1992 wrote:ah i see your point, would just have to get lowered shocks then like i have on the polo i spose

Do the polos use inserts, as in the damper comes out of the strut? or is the strut one piece?erixtar1992 wrote:shit man thats expensive!

Wtf is that ginger 206 in one of those pictures. Even 206's deserve some kind of a hug, especially when that happens to them. Looks like a another white 300 in the same pic though
