is there a difference between the 1.8 and 1.8t coilovers

No, all 2WD platform coilovers are the same fitment, only 4WD will not fit.

what yous think of theres

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COIL-OVER-COILOVER-VW-GOLF-MK4-TDI-ADJUSTABLE-SUSPENSION-TA-TECHNIX-/181111630294?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a2b1829d6

All the cheap coilovers you keep linking to are the same, they might be different colours and are branded differently but they are the same units. If you buy anything <£200 expect it to be harsh, bouncy and crashing when you get lower than 50mm.

If you don't want that then the next step up is the likes of AP/FK Highsports - these will be better but still don't offer adjustable damping.

I've bought cheap coilovers twice now because at the time that's what I could afford. If I were to buy coilovers again then it'd be something along the lines of KW V1 Basics.
