I would recommend AP's. Got a real nice ride off them.

One other thing to think about when changing your shocks for coilovers... Do yourself a favour! And trust me on this one! Change the sway bars, I have Jom coilovers on my mk3, the car turned into an under steering monster, last weekend I fitted the H&R sway bar kit from Venom Motorsport. What a difference they have made!

Couldn't agree more

But if you under steer that bad try lifting the back up a touch and lower the rear pressure
