I have boge fitted to my mk3, 50mm drop, handling is good, but ride can be a little harsh over big speed bumps etc

I got FK AK coilovers for £350.

Not bad handling, not too stiff,

adjustable ride height with a few twists of the spanner, get the height you like the look of with no effect on ride quality.

i've got eibach springs and bilstein shx, they give a good comfortable ride, i paid £97 for my eibach springs - they did a price match with venom motorsport - they didnt see the does not include vat sign, so saved a bit there. shox were bought from euro car parts - cant remember cost.

boge turbos(aboout £100) with H&R springs(£95), nice comfortable ride and tight around corners although it could be lower, looks nice on 17s. my bump stops were sh*ged to pieces so worth replacing along with top mounts depending on condition, another £20-£40

Mines lowered 30mm on Eibach springs and spax adjustables all round, on low profile 17's. The adjustables are turned right up as it rubbed occationally on harsh dips. Its a great ride, and I like the look of how it sits on the road.
