Kerrse - don't want to slam it so I don't think coil overs would be an option for me.

Shaft - what size wheels are you running & what was the ride quality like when you had the koni setup all round?

Very comfy have lots of speed humps, round here so slamming on coilovers no good. On last mk4 used Jom coilovers awful then spent some money got spax coilovers with adj damping they were spot on. Got 18" r32 rims on mine like it very good kit, yes kit all round just coilover rear spring with adj to drop back end down a bit.
