Hottuning coilovers are the ones for you then  :wink:

If you're going low, as in over (or is it under? :huh:) 100mm, it might be worth trimming the bumpstops in half - that way, if you're riding on em, you won't be bouncing all over the place.

I've read good things about Ritter, think volksbits do them for about 250.00 think they are sister company of a bigger brand, can't remember who though. I was thinking of getting a set to drop it on it's @rse for summer then put it back to sensible ride height for winter. :wink:

Priced a Rayvern air kit for a mk2 golf from the man himself, was just shy of 1700.00  :shocked:
It'd be cool but the money could be better spent else where IMO. Unless you have money to burn. However there are a few more companies starting to do it so hopefully the price will come down a bit in future.
Me, I'll stick with coventional shock setup for time being until that Euromillions win comes through :grin:
