   both really. would want it to handle well but sit rigt, if that makes sense. i realise the AP is just the shocks and the FK in dampers too. but handling is prob most important to me

    We have been selling lots of FK for the lupo and polo with very good feedback.

    Been in (not driven) both a Lupo and a Polo with the FK's on, and the ride wasn't too bad (reasonably stiff, but not bone shaking), and they definately have a good range of height adjustment, meaning you can get stupidly low if you want.

    i had silver lines on my old gti absolutely loved them lowered very well and handeld well too imo. Little tip try and buy them direct from fk germany youll save about 300 quid lol (Although it does take a little blagging for them to sell to individuals rather than distributors)
