| Hey dudes, needing some help.
Basically im gunna commit and spend some time/money sorting the fabia.
Cant seem to find any air kits for the fabia which i believe is a Polo 9n basically?
Can anyone help me or link me to a suitable kit? Dont need anything too fancy just a basic air ride would do. | |

| There's a few other issues you'll come across when you go seriously low with the 9n chassis. Firstly you'll need solid console bushes, as the standard voided items aren't good and the extra lows will stress this even more. Then you'll have to remove the anti roll bar as it'll catch. You'll probably need a chassis notch too if you're planning on going proper low. If you're going to be laying the subframe on the floor, you'll also want to be careful and possibly make a sheild / skid plate, as the subframe is cast aluminium and you run the risk of it shattering if you hit it. Unlike a traditional steel subframe which would just take the impact and bend a bit.
Any other bushes that you can replace with poly / solid mounts would help massively too. | |

| Sweet thanks for the help. I have no idea when it comes to air ride or anything.
Rang Rayvern and they quoted me £1,620 for some kit they do. Price includes VAT and delivery.
That a decent price? | |

| Dunno what to do then coz i probs got about 300-500 quid to sort the car out first.
needs a new clutch, full new exhaust system, tracking and probs more first.
Might get the car sorted, then start buying air if i can buy it in bits so i know its happening rather than buy it in one go | |

| Tbf this full kit and everything id need changing to fit the air, plus the bits i need to get done to the actual car anyway is gunna take me well over 2k, the car is only worth 500 ish and thats all i paid so think air might be out the window. Cant justify spending that amount with another baby on the way end of this year...
Balls, theres my motivation out the window haha. Was hoping to get lucky and get it all done for around 1500 | |

| Buy it all in bits, i worked out i could of done my car for £900, but i splashed out on better rear bags and i got digital suspension instead. It can be done cheap but you will need to do a fair bit of research | |
