I don't really want to pay out for coilovers so it looks like I will just get some new springs.

Anyone else recommend eilbach? They are only ?100 or so a set which I imagine is the same price as the VW ones.

Are they definitely the same ride height?

Thanks, R

coilovers are about ?350 for a set like mine (supersport goldlines)

i rather have them than to replace with original shocks to be honest

I think I'm gonna stick to VAG ones as I like my car standard.

Will I get much advantage in changing all 4 at the same time?  The front ones still look ok to me!

Eibach springs are immense, ive got them on mine and the difference they made in comfort and handling over the std spring was amazing - well worth every penny

also replace the rear spring top plate rubber seats as they spread over time
