also got them fitted to mine, ride is sound and fitted perfectly apart from if you have big profile wheels like 225/40/18 and drop it to a certain amount the wheel will rub on the coilover adjuster!

I've got these on mine. only fitted them monday.see my thread in the mk4 section. Really happy with the ride to be honest. not too harsh or anything.

Had mine on the mk4 for 4 months now and had been really pleased with them for the money, pretty firm ride but thats what i wanted but as far as fitting them the garage i use had no problems at all(apart from lowering the front end too much(sorted now though))

i have them on my mk4 and find they are more comfortable than the 35mm shock and springs i had originally
i did however remove the helper springs from the front as my A8 replicas have a 38mm offset and the tyres(225/40/18) caught on the springs
took them off car drives fine
i have also removed the rear adjusters

Id set them 1/2 way down before you fit them then you can go either way to get the desired height.  :wink:

I think you may struggle dropping them that much on 18's mate ? They catch or summet, and the rebound on them would be a nightmare

I would rather go 50mm front and 40mm back.
