how harsh does this feel, tow and country driving, i drive through a road that has aVERY big bump in it.. and im worried that as its a dialy driver with my misus she will be uncomfortable in a car with gas shocks cause of how hard ive heard they can be

please no jokes aobut my misus and things being hard  :grin:

See the car in my sig, thats my daily, and the Eibach springs have been on the car for about two years now. I can't recommend them enough, they are ideal on a daily driver, and the ride / handling compromise is spot on. The springs are properly progressive too, really help reduce body roll.

Roll is the biggest problem at 4x4 height, want to track down an ARB from a gti or soemthing, but, ive been told the dangers of attempting removal  :laugh:

how much did that set you back all in all?

I got the springs brand new on ebay, but at about half price, which was about £50.

Gas shocks can be got here:-
