Just got a set of these:

 http://www.venommotorsport.com/manufacturer_product.php?manufacturer=FK&category=suspension&product=AKStreetCoilovers&make=VW&model=Golf%20Mk%204

Didnt come with any fitting instructions though :(...i know how to fit the fronts but am slightly confused about how the back ones go on. Does anyone know weather i need to take bits off my old rear shock absorbers and put them on the coilovers?
Thanks Craig

the rears, you take your old shock off by undoing the 2 bolts at the strut top and 1 bolt the attaches the shock to the axle. Then when shock is off remove the top nut off the strut and take the dust guard and bumpstop off and put on your new shock, make sure you use the nut that is already on the new shock to hold the bumpstop and dust guide on the shock.

If you look in the maintenance section there is a full guide in there

That he does  :smiley:

Worth replacing all the bumpstops and top mounts whilst you got it all apart otherwise you'll be removing everything again in a few months  :sad:
