search the forum, its very expensive to do it properly. without fitting self leveling sensors to the rear axle, its illegal and dangerous.

I just did a search on the Mk5 forum for xenon, here's a selection:

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=132202.0
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=44827.0
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=75172.0
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=53715.0

Are you sure you searched the forum and not just one post?  Depends where you do your search from.

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?

To do a proper job its expensive as said, that doesn't stop people from just not putting on the levelling sensors or jet washers.
