i am running hottuning coilovers and i must say for £170 theyre spot on....handling is good, theyre easy to adjust, look good through your wheels lol...and i have got 18" dezent motion black/red alloys on my golf and they dont rub at the front or back i just wish i changed the anti roll bar bushes and stuff when i got it lowered coz it squeaks now soemtimes on bumps and stuff lol

and remember if your going to take it lower than 35-40mm then you really need to upgrade your anti roll bar for driveshaft clearance or get a pair of adjustable drop links.

Another thing tough, if your planning on slammin it, then be warned this causes extra stress on the front wishbone bushes and can cause them to split. if they do upgrade the front wishbone rear bush with Audi TT bushes.
