Looks alright as long as you paid a good price for it.... At least you're jumping straight on its issues. The dude that painted the block with spray must of been a right ****!

right...

suspension is becoming very tiresome quickly! what i am hoping to get is koni top adjustables as basically they are ossum BUT am i going a little over the top? should i be looking more along the lines of the bilsteins or weitec setup with fixed rate dampening rather than twiddly knob change everything type shocks?

opinions?....

Just a standard 40mm drop spring and shock kit will be fine.

Im rockin a 40mm shock and spring kit and its perfect for everyday use. The ride height is spot on for me although the other mk3 boys say that its too high and should be on its arse. Mine is a gmax kit which is good but could be stiffer. Is your car a daily?
